Title: Mrs Hurst receives news of her husbands' survival [Go to resource]
Description: Mrs. Hurst was a Southampton local resident whose husband had boarded the ill fated liner R.M.S Titanic as a Fireman. Although the majority of the firemen on board Titanic perished Mr. Walter Hurst managed to survive. Whilst 724 of Titanic's crew were from Southampton only 175 returned home to their friends and family. R.M.S Titanic was sailing on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, April 10th 1912, when she struck an iceberg off of Newfoundland and sank, April 15 1912. It became one of the most devastating sea faring disaster of all time with over 1500 lives lost.
