: : : Way down there somewhere, I saw a posting by B.J. Titanic Wynn, with several responses, re the Noronic.
: : : When I was 17 (1948), I served on the Noronic as a bus-boy in the crew's mess, one year before the fire.
: : : On Friday morning I'll be at the dedication ceremony at the pier and hope to meet up with some of the people who share some Noronic memories with me.
: : I am glad someone noticed. I am presently writing a book about ships and one of my featured ships is the Noronic. Would you be intrested in helping me, by sharing your story? I would be most intrested to know something about the behind the scenes. Perhaps it would help me enrich my narrative of the Noronic for others to enjoy. Thanks
: Hi,
: Just came back from the show at the Pier--nice
: job but I would love to see even more. My aunt
: and uncle along with a dear friend were on board
: the night of the disaster. They managed to escape
: because my uncle was in the saloon when the fire
: broke out and having worked on many ships he knew
: the fastest way to wake my aunt and friend and
: get them to safety. We have their room keys and
: lots of clippings and correspondence from lawyers
: involved at the time. Are these worth anything
: and are people interested in the legal aftermath?
: Feel free to contact me.
: Good luck in your research.
