Titanic passenger lists go online
BBC -- The original passenger lists from the Titanic
are being made available online for the first time, 95 years after
the ocean liner sank on its maiden voyage.
The lists could previously be seen only at the National Archives in
Kew, south-west London. They will be free to view on the findmypast.com
website for a week - after which a fee will be charged.
The anniversary of the disaster, which claimed 1,523 lives, will be
marked on Sunday with a service in Southampton. The ship set sail
from the Hampshire city on 10 April 1912, and 549 of the victims
hailed from there.
The outdoor public service will be held at the Titanic Engineer's
Memorial in Above Bar Street in the city centre at 1100 BST.
