Angela Young has done historians a great service by amassing so much fascinating information about her relative the Countess of Rothes’ Titanic experiences and sharing that information with researchers everywhere. We can only hope that family members of other Titanic passengers and crewmen will follow her lead and will share similar information about their own relatives’ Titanic experiences in order to keep those family memories from disappearing forever into the bottomless well of time.
