The Titanic Memorial ‹ A History of the Titanic in 30 Pieces

Line	From	To
I was about 11 or 12	0:08:08	0:08:11
and we're coming up the town	0:08:11	0:08:13
and I came over to the fountain to have a drink.	0:08:13	0:08:16
And my chum was walking round and she spotted	0:08:16	0:08:19
my name - McQuillan - and that is my maiden name.	0:08:19	0:08:22
And I told my mother.	0:08:22	0:08:24
So she told me that that was my granda and he had went down	0:08:24	0:08:28
with the Titanic.	0:08:28	0:08:29
He was a stoker. He was in the boiler room.	0:08:29	0:08:33
In 2006, I was watching a programme	0:08:33	0:08:37
about the Titanic graveyard in Nova Scotia	0:08:37	0:08:39
and I just said, "That's my granda!"	0:08:39	0:08:43
It gives me comfort that I've closure now. I know where he is.	0:08:43	0:08:47
He's not lying at the bottom of the sea.	0:08:47	0:08:49
I can't go out to Halifax and Canada all the time,	0:08:49	0:08:52
but I can come here when I'm in the town and visit the grave.	0:08:52	0:08:56
