Hello everyone.
My name is Jack and I am 12. I am writing to tell you about the a new musical - "Titanic: The Musical".
I will be playing Jack Thayer in the play. Recently I went to the exhibition with the school and was amazed to see my character's name on the wall!
I found this thread as I was searching to find whether the exhibition was still on so I could go again as I enjoyed it so much.
If you are interested, Titanic the Musical is on the Liverpool Empire Theatre from the 8th-11th June. I will be starting rehearsals soon, I will start an online journal so everyone can see how it is going.
Thanks for reading,
Jack, AKA Jack Thayer

I visited the exhibit on the last day and it was worth every second. The fascination gripped me at a young age. I'm still only 14 now and will be diving deeper into the amazing storys and facts that came out from that one night.

Ms. Thompson, may I suggest visting the Titanic Historical Society site or Encyclopedia Titanica.com for more information on Frederick Barrett, they've both been known to be very helpful to others seeking descendant information relating to Titanic passengers.

I live in Belfast which of course was the place were the Titanic was constructed. I remember my Grandfather telling me that his father brought him to the shipyard to see the almost completed vessel when he was just a young boy.The anchor was lying on the quay side of the dry-dock and he said that his father hoisted him up on to the anchor to sit on.He said it was huge.

This exhibition is really worth going! 2 years ago I went to the States to visit my family, and we went to this same exhibition in the Museum of Natural Science in Houston, Texas. I was so glad to find out that this same exhibition, 2 years later has come to Manchester! We're going to visit the exhibition next month.

visited the exhibition and was amazed. you walk in and the first thing you see is the bell rung by fred fleet when he saw the 'berg loomung in front of the ship! that is worth the admission price alone! visit or miss out forever.

it has been alleged that the olympic & titanic were swapped when olympic was being repaired for an insurance scam so it was the olympic that actually sank

When my mother was 12 years old she was at school in Wombwell, Yorks. One of the teacher's was leaving to travel as companion to a well to do lady bound for America on Titanic. It was decided to present the teacher with a parting gift. My mother was a very competant seamstress and she was chosen to sew two nightgowns as the gift.She made them with great care and worked on beautifully tucked bodices. The nightgowns went with the teacher to join the ship. Before the ship sailed the lady to whom she was to be companion was taken ill and both ladies and nightgowns were saved.

I was brought up to believe that My grandfather Frederick James Barrett, was on Titanic ..He was a stoker in the bowels of the ship., when it hit the iceberg. He was ordered to row out Lifeboat number 13 and of course , he survived ( or i wouldn,t be telling you this story )... He lived in Bootle liverpool and as far asI know , died aged @ mid forties , from some sort of T.B... Is there a way of me checking this out ? I do believe it to bre true .. Thank you ..Sue Thompson ( nee Barret)
