Titanic - Docks in Belfast 1912

This photo was taken of the RMS Titanic at the Docks in Belfast Ireland in 1912. The RMS Titanic was built by an Irish shipbuilding company called Harland and Wolff Heavy Industries which is based in Belfast, Northern Ireland and still exists today.

Harland and Worff Heavy Industries was formed in 1861 by Edward James Harland and Gustav Wilhelm Wolff (who was born in Hamburg, Germany). Thomas Andrews, the managing director at Harland and Wolff, was the chief designer of the Titanic. He was on the Titanic on its maiden voyage (along with 8 other members of the "Titanic Guarantee Group" from Harland and Wolff). All of these men lost their lives when the Titanic went down.

Date & Place: 1912 at Harbor in Belfast Ireland

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
