Edward Bourke, author of the tremendously useful “Bound for Australia” (ISBN 095230273 – http://www.iolfree.ie/~edwardbourke/EdwardBooksPage.htm), brought some information to my attention about the names of the apprentices on RMS Tayleur when she sank on 21st January 1854. These details originally came from Emily C Madden:
The Sinking Of RMS Tayleur: The Lost Story Of The Victorian Titanic
- Peter Rival
- Henry Wallace
- Joseph Hudson
- Henry Burkett Green
- William Charles Cowell
- William Ray
If you have any further information on the Tayleur or think you might be related to someone involved in the wreck please contact me on twitter (@GillHoffs) or email me at gillhoffs@hotmail.co.uk
