Armenians on the Titanic


News of a couple getting married at a Milwaukee museum where “Titanic Relics” were exhibited sounded unusual. The fact that the great-grandfather of the bride was one of the survivors and that he was an Armenian running away from Turkish persecution aroused even more interest on the subject. Further research uncovered additional Armenian sojourners who were on the same journey.


Dr. Ketabgian’s talk will describe the living conditions in these travelers’ homeland villages
