2012 Project365 (Day 28)

Day 28 - Titanic and GuernseyToday The Mister and I went to Candie Garden Museum in St Peter Port. We went to see the Titanic exhibition there, which looks at the Guernsey people who were aboard the Titanic when it sunk. It was a very small exhibition, with only a few things to look at, including a mock-up of what a Second Class cabin would look like.

The thing I liked though was the tickets to get in which were made to look like a boarding pass for the ship and included the names of real passengers on each one. We were then able to go and have a look at the folder and see what happened to the people. The Mister and I were Mr Dickinson H Bishop and Mrs Helen Bishop and the information said that we were, “Husband and wife travelling home after their four month honeymoon. In the years following the disaster Dickinson endured rumours that he had dressed as a woman in order to secure a place on the lifeboat Helen regretted leaving her newly acquired dog Freu Freu in the cabin.”
