Scrapbook with Titanic rescue pictures goes up for auction
Rare photos depicting the rescue efforts after the sinking of the Titanic are set to go up for auction this week.The photos are included in the scrapbook of New York socialite Louis M. Ogden, who was sailing to Europe with his wife Agatha in April 1912 when their ship got an emergency call from the Titanic, which had struck an iceberg and was sinking rapidly.The Carpathia arrived at the scene at daybreak, where they started rescuing the survivors who had waited out the night in lifeboats.Ogden, a lawyer, had bought a new camera for the trip, which was still a rare thing to own unless you were wealthy.He took pictures of the rescue - showing lifeboats approaching the ship and being brought on deck - including lifeboat no.6, which had the now famous Margaret Brown on board. Mrs Brown was later nicknamed the Unsinkable Molly Brown for her courage in standing up to the sailor in charge of the boat, who refused to turn back to look for survivors in the water.While Mrs Brown was unsuccessful in sparking a mutiny, she has been immortalized for her leadership and for pitching in to row.Another picture taken by Ogden shows an iceberg on the horizon which he notes is the one that sunk the Titanic, though it's unclear if he was correct.Many of the pictures show an eerily barren sea, when most were expecting to see a mass of bodies.Historical records of the rescue operation have painted the Ogdens in a good light, lending their clothing to survivors and serving hot coffee on the deck.Archibald Gracie IV, a direct descendant of the Archibald Gracie who build Gracie Mansion, the New York City Mayor's official residence, survived the sinking by climbing on top of an overturned lifeboat.When he was rescued by the Carpathia, he found Ogden, an old friend on board. He wrote about the experience in his book about the disaster, The Truth About the Titanic.'I am particularly grateful to a number of kind people on the Carpathia who helped replenish my wardrobe, but especially to Mr Louis M.Ogden, a family connection and old friend. To Mrs Ogden and to Mr and Mrs Spedden, who were on the Titanic, and to their boy's trained nurse, I am also grateful.They gave me hot cordials and hot coffee which soon warmed me up and dispersed the cold,' Gracie wrote.Mr Ogden died in 1946, and after that his wife moved to Florida. While living in Florida she gifted a book about the Titanic to her ophthalmologist, which she annotated, and which he later shared with the Ocean Liner Museum.In the book, she described how her husband was woken in the early morning by the sound of the lifeboats around 4:30am.'My husband also believed we were on fire, hearing the shocks of the lifeboats overhead and got me up and dressed.We were on deck when the first boat arrived. We had been told it was an accident to the Titanic but did not believe it until we saw the (White Star) insignia on the lifeboats,' she wrote.Ogden says she gave a first class woman, Mrs Lucile Carter, some of her clothes to wear on the three-day journey back to New York.During that time, she says some of the Titanic's wealthiest survivors were put up in the Captain's quarters.'Mrs. Astor, Mrs. Thayer and Mrs. Widener, were put in the Captain's quarters. I lent them clothes and took them flowers and fruit every day,' Mrs Ogden said.She later added that White Star Line chairman Bruce Ismay, who fled the ship on a lifeboat meant to be loading only women an children, kept to his cabin for the length of the journey.When they returned to New York, the Titanic survivors disembarked. Twenty-four hours later, the Carpathia restarted its journey to Europe, and Mrs Ogden says only one original passenger decided to forgo the journey.The Ogdens' scrapbook is currently on the auction block through Remarkable Rarities.The sale concludes October 26 at 7pm. Mr Ogden's scrapbook includes 500 pictures with notations from his trips to Algiers, the Sahara, Spain, Italy, Argentina, Gibralter, Switzerland, Greece and Austria with his wife in 1911 and 1912.But the focus for collectors will be the photos that show the Carpathia rescue. 'It's a tremendous archive of first generation photos that not only documents the harrowing rescue, but offers an unprecedented number of iceberg photographs,' said Bobby Livingston, Executive VP at RR Auction.'Images of the two-peak Titanic iceberg are tremendously rare, and this a truly one-of-a-kind and museum-quality collection,' added Livingston.,Tag:scrapbook, brown, mrs, carpathia, pictures, goes, auction, photos, ogden, rescue, gracie, survivors, iceberg, titanic,Image:null,Image_Hd:null,VideoInfos:null,Url:null}
Places to see in ( Dumfries - UK )
Places to see in ( Dumfries - UK )
Dumfries is a market town and former royal burgh within the Dumfries and Galloway council area of Scotland. Dumfries is near the mouth of the River Nith into the Solway Firth. Dumfries was a civil parish and became the county town of the former county of Dumfriesshire. Dumfries is nicknamed Queen of the South. People from Dumfries are known colloquially as Doonhamers.
Like the rest of Dumfries and Galloway, of Scotland's three major geographical areas Dumfries lies in the Southern Uplands. The river Nith runs through Dumfries toward the Solway Firth in a southwards direction splitting the town into East and West.
Dumfries has a long history as a county town, and as the market town of a surrounding rural hinterland. Dumfries is a relatively prosperous community but the town centre has been exposed to the centrifugal forces that have seen retail, business, educational, residential and other uses gravitate towards the town's urban fringe.
Located on top of a small hill, Dumfries Museum is centred on the 18th century windmill which stands above the town. Included are fossil footprints left by prehistoric reptiles. Based in the control tower near Tinwald Downs, the aviation museum has an extensive indoor display of memorabilia which strives to preserve aviation heritage, much of which has come via various recovery activities.
The Theatre Royal, Dumfries was built in 1792 and is the oldest working theatre in Scotland. There are a number of festivals which take place throughout the year, mostly based on traditional values. Guid Nychburris (Middle Scots, meaning Good Neighbours) is the main festival of the year, a ceremony which is largely based on the theme of a positive community spirit.
Dumfries is linked to the Northbound A74(M) motorway at Beattock via the A701 road. The A75 road eastbound links Dumfries to the southbound A74(M), leading to the M6 motorway and Carlisle. The A75 road west links Dumfries with the ferry port of Stranraer. The A76 road connects to Kilmarnock in Ayrshire. Dumfries railway station lies on the Glasgow South Western Line. It was awarded Best Station Awards by British Rail in 1986 and 1987. The train service is now operated by private company Abellio ScotRail which provides services to Glasgow and Carlisle, and less frequent services direct to Newcastle. The nearest station to Dumfries on the West Coast Mainline is 14 miles (23 km) east along the A709 road at Lockerbie, and the nearest West Coast Mainline station linking directly to Dumfries by rail is Carlisle.
As the largest settlement in Southern Scotland, Dumfries is recognised as a centre for visiting surrounding points of interest. The following are all within easy reach:
John Paul Jones Cottage Museum – The traditional Scottish cottage in which John Paul Jones was born in 1747.

Places to see in ( Castle Douglas - UK )
Castle Douglas is a town in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Castle Douglas lies in the lieutenancy area of Kirkcudbrightshire, in the eastern part of Galloway, between the towns of Dalbeattie and Gatehouse of Fleet.
Castle Douglas is built next to Carlingwark Loch in which traces of prehistoric crannogs can be found, evidence of early inhabitation of the area. To the North of the town Glenlochar is the site of two successive Roman forts, the first being erected during the invasion of Agricola and the second during the Antonine period.
The Castle Douglas Art Gallery is an offshoot of the Stewartry Museum at Kirkcudbright. Near the centre of town is Carlingwark Loch, a loch and SSSI, home to numerous water birds. Nearby stands Threave Castle, the family castle of the Black Douglas line of the House of Douglas. It lies on an island in the middle of the River Dee, admission includes the short ferry journey.
The main shopping street in Castle Douglas is King Street. It has a wide range of shops, including many shops not often found on many town high streets. Castle Douglas has two supermarkets (Co-Op and Tesco) and a Scotmid convenience store. Also on King Street are Italian, Chinese and Indian restaurants as well as pubs and hotels serving meals and several take-aways. Castle Douglas is designated Scotland's Food Town and boasts some 50 outlets connected with the food industry.
As a Regional Market Town, Castle Douglas accommodates Wallet's Mart, a livestock market visited by Queen Elizabeth II in July 2010. There are several churches in Castle Douglas, including a Church of Scotland, a Betheren who have recently acquired a new building, an Episcopalian and the New Life Church Castle Douglas an Elim Pentecostal Church.
A walk around the park beside Carlingwark Loch can be continued along Lover's Walk, which goes out along the south shore of the loch to an area of marsh and a bird hide, from where further trails lead back to the town or on to Kelton Hill and Threave Gardens. There is a walk leading from the town to Threave Castle, and there is a network of trails around the National Trust for Scotland property at Threave Gardens. Threave Castle and Threave Gardens are both to the west of the town and about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) apart.
