R.M.S. Titanic lifeboat no 6
£20.00R.M.S. Titanic lifeboat no 6
Tyrell and Julia booked to travel on the Titanic with their two sons to introduce them to their American grandfather, but the children were too ill to travel. Julia persisted in going without them. The fatal and tragic decision not only led to the unnecessary loss of her husband, it was to haunt her for the next fifty years. Why was she so determined to go? In a letter written to her sons, as her death approached, she claimed the purpose of the visit was ‘to gain her wealthy father’s support for his son-in-law’s ambition to stand as a Member of Parliament’. Yet Tyrell had shown no enthusiasm for making the journey, as Julia had already made the trip alone, the previous year quite safely.

In 1825 the Stockton & Darlington company strode into history with the opening of the world’s first public steam railway.
