Welcome
It looks as if the name is of the REV, was he the chaplain on the Titanic?

Mmm! I dont think too many Miles away Terry! As this was an unused 1st Class ticket owned by the Reverend John Stuart Holden who was unable to take up his first-class ticket when his wife fell ill the day before the luxury liner was due to make its maiden voyage from Southampton on 10 April 1912. Museum archivists have uncovered the story behind the only known surviving first class ticket for the doomed ship Titanic. We feel immensely privileged to have this ticket. It is priceless.

What is the Link between Titanic and Germany! Go for it Terry! Cheers
Millions of Germans were expelled from Poland, Russia and Czechoslovakia after World War Two, losing their homes and roots as ordinary citizens paid the price for Adolf Hitler's war that left 50 million dead across Europe. Their suffering is rarely commemorated in a nation still seeking to overcome the shadows of Nazi crimes. More than 8,000 people died in what became known as Germany's Titanic -- more than five times as many as the 1,500 who lost their lives when the real Titanic sank in 1912. Yet while the 'Wilhelm Gustloff' is one of the worst disasters in sea-faring history, its story is scarcely known even in Germany. About 9,000 refugees and wounded soldiers boarded the Wilhelm Gustloff on a freezing January 30, 1945, day hoping to escape the rapidly approaching Soviet army. But the ship -- named after an assassinated Nazi official and launched as the world's largest cruise liner in 1937 -- was hit by Russian torpedoes that evening. ``Thousands of people immediately broke into a terrible panic,'' survivor Karl Hoffmann wrote later. ``They clawed their way upward, pushing and shoving mercilessly.'' ``Those who fell were lost. Children that slipped from their mothers' arms were trampled to death.'' K.
