Book Description
Our world is not alien to disaster, Colossal vestiges, psychological and physical, remain witness as results of nature’s fury, wars of man, and human madness, The loss of life has been great, tragedies tenfold that of the other. Even though the Titanic was not the single worst maritime disaster of all time in respect to lives lost, but it continues, close to a century later, to hold of a fascination. The reason for this attraction – perhaps the scenario of man versus nature or man’s confrontation with the tempests of fate, or perhaps, simply, the attempt to defeat that which is unconquerable.
The celebrated Titanic was to embark on its maiden voyage to New York carrying, besides its crew, first, second, and third class passengers comprised of Americans, English, Canadians, Swiss, South Americans, Irish, Swedes, Norwegians, Syrians, natives of Hong Kong, and other nationalities.
The Syrians traveled in steerage, save for one couple, who held second class berths. Little has been written about them, and information available is usually redundant and brief. In an optimistic tone, however, the little that has been published somewhat provides a picture of them. Here and there, in the American English language newspapers of 1912, Syrians are mentioned, in some cases, incorrectly as Assyrians, or individually by name, many times incorrectly translated or transliterated.
This work is a presentation of these passengers from the information available both pas and present. It does not serve as a glorification of these individuals but rather as their unwritten history.
The tales of some of these passengers made for interesting stories – one running to escape the law, another to avoid it. Two Syrians were among the first and second survivors to have died after the sinking. Another delivered the first baby born of a Titanic survivors. And yet another, a survivor, was to found a business empire that continues to exist until today.
On the whole, however, the Syrian were committed and hard working immigrants bent on bettering the lives of their families. Their place of their birth would part of their history, and for those who boarded the Titanic in April 1912, they themselves would become part of history of the one of the world’s greatest maritime disasters. They should be remembered.
