    Bolton believe it or not is also a TITANIC town.

    Captain Rostron of the `Carpathia `was born and went to school in Bolton before going to the `Conway`. He lived on Blackburn Road Bolton.

    Captain Lord of the `Californian,` also lived on Blackburn Road in Bolton and went to the same schools as Rostron.
    before going to the `Conway`
    and
    Wallace Hartley Band Leader of the `Titanic` also lived on Blackburn Road in Bolton, He was originally from Colne but moved to Bolton, His body is buried in Colne.

    So One Character from each ship involved all living on Blackburn Road Bolton.
    Cheers
    Brian
