Captain E. J. Smith of the Titanic – Enchanted Titanic

by Lady Kathleen on February 3, 2012


As you know if you have been following the Blog, I am related to the Captain of the Titanic, Capt. Edward John Smith.  Well one thing most people don’t know it I have another site called the Enchanted Titanic.  Where I do have many cool fact on that site about the captain and the ship there is something a bit more special about that site.  It is called Children of the Titanic. 

Now who are the Children of the Titanic you ask.  Well it is anyone that is related to someone that was on the ship.  Crew and passengers alike.  These people have been coming to the site (or section of another site when it first started out) and telling their story.  Some people are in search of information about their relative and stop by and leave a note, telling what they know so far and asking for more information.

I even tell my story there on how I found out I was related to the Captain.  There are stories that will make you laugh and some will bring a tear, but most are just very cool facts.  Talking about facts we even have a section called the “believe it or not” were a very good friend of mine and author, Donald Allen Kirch (link is to his author fan page) got me started on this.  He also has some wonderful books out and some are about the Titanic.  He even published one of my letters to him in his books on the Titanic.  I was so honored to be able to be part of his books. 

Well this is a lot of interesting things going on at the Enchanted Titanic so after you done reading on this site jump over there and find some interesting reads.  And don’t forget to stop by Donald’s Facebook Fan Page and become a fan.

Nathaniel Lincoln, Washington, Maine (1884)

by Lady Kathleen on January 31, 2012


I have no connection to this family, but found this while doing other research. This appeared in the June 3, 1884 issue of the Rockland (Maine) Gazette in the “Washington” column:

“Nathaniel Lincoln, one of our aged and respected citizens who has been confined to his bed with sickness for the last six weeks, is now and has been for the last three weeks, lying in a quiet painless though conscious state. The first part of his sickness was attended with great suffering, and it is a satisfaction to his devoted friends and attendants to know that he is not suffering, though they suppose him to be gradually sinking and wasting away. No gloom is felt to visiting his sick room, which may be attributed to the well-ordered life of the one who so patiently awaits his final summons. His age is 82 years.”

I am so sorry this message was delayed. My sister, Doris Ann Butler Lucas, had a major heart attack two and a half years ago. Since then she has had several minor strokes. Unfortunately, every time we all think she is getting well enough to start back with her genealogy work, something else presents a [...]
