Are there publicly available records identifying persons who had booked passage for future voyages of the Titanic?

'Fraid not. Any records have long ago disappeared. Whether to a landfill or a private collection is anybody's guess.

Aly Jones,The answer is yes as for a start the crew refused to sail,until alterations were made to the ship,and the Olympic had to go in for alterations based on the original design,which proved to have flaws,these were then put right to a certain degree,I know that people will disagree and pull me up on this.However if I am not absolutely correct,it was fact that alterations were made.The design of the Titanic was from the Olympic that was hailed as the biggest ship in the world,then the Titanic which was practically the same was hailed as the biggest ship in the world,a bit of a publicity stunt by the white star line.Future voyages of the Olympic because there was no Titanic,and then the disaster of the 3rd ship of the Olympic class.

Hello Pat. You are correct in that the crew of Olympic refused to go on the next voyage. I believed it was because there was not enough lifeboats on board. There may have been other things that they were not too happy with. Ken.

John Galsworthy, author of The Forsyte Saga, was in New York in 1912 and booked to return to England on the Titanic. He changed his plans (well of necessity obviously :shock: ) and stayed to attend the enquiry into the sinking. I don't think he actually reported on it though or wrote much about it, which is a pity.

I'm not sure which ship he eventually returned on.

Thanks Marion. Not many people know the answer to the original question.

I'm not sure which ship he eventually returned on.

We can narrow It down a little. We can rule out the Olympic.
