Titanic
RMS Titanic was the largest passenger steamship in the world when she set off on her maiden voyage on 10th April 1912 from Southampton, UK to New York City.
Designed by some of the most experienced engineers with some of the most advanced technologies available at the time, the sinking of the Titanic on 15th April 1912 with a loss of 1,517 lives was a shock to the world.
John Wesley Woodward
Eastbourne’s Duke of Devonshire Band had recruited a cello player by the name of John Wesley Woodward from West Bromwich, born on 11th September 1879.
Woodward played at Eastbourne’s Winter gardens and Grand Hotel with the Duke of Devonshire Band, a Municipal orchestra, before joining the voyage company White Star Line in 1909. Taking his best cello onto the Titanic's maiden voyage, he died alongside all the other musicians on the ill fated ship.
