    2007.4.17→〝鐵達尼號乘客名單手稿公開〞

    真人版傑克、蘿絲在其中

    95年前的4月14日,豪華郵輪鐵達尼號撞上冰山而沉沒,造成1500人罹難,成為史上最嚴重的船難之一。如今,英國公佈當時乘客的名單手稿,所有詳細資料都一一陳列其中,也讓人們看了不勝唏噓。

    電影鐵達尼號將歷史上的悲劇化成淒美的愛情故事,但是現實中的鐵達尼,已經隨著時間漸漸腐朽,人們也只能藉由一些珍貴的歷史畫面以及重建的電腦動畫揣測當時豪華郵輪的風情。

    現在英國官方將鐵達尼的乘客名單手稿在網站findmypase.com公開,所有乘客的姓名、職業以及艙等都一覽無遺。這份長達34頁的名單也將當時所有乘客的故事再度公佈在世人眼前,其中更包括被電影「鐵達尼號」作為樣本人物的男女主角:亨利‧莫雷與凯特‧菲利浦斯。

    這兩人當年以「馬歇爾夫婦」之名坐上鐵達尼號,要私奔到美國,途中遇到船難,亨利葬身大西洋,凱特倖存,但是在船難後9個月生下女兒艾倫‧沃克。沃克一直認為自己是鐵達尼號最小的倖存者,因為她的媽媽當時在船上就懷了她。沃克於2005年10月過世,骨灰灑在大西洋。

    「那是一艘好美的船,她(鐵達尼)不應該沉沒的」,就如同一名如今已經過世的當年船難倖存者所說,1912年4月12日,當時最豪華的郵輪鐵達尼號處女航引起全世界的注意,但是沒想到最後鐵達尼卻撞上冰山,造成1500人死亡。

    這份乘客手稿一向被視為珍貴的史料,英國政府首度公開,希望能讓歷史學家判斷出乘客的歷史背景,名單顯示,鐵達尼上有許多旅客當時想前往美國展開新生活,也有些乘客買了船票卻沒有登船僥倖逃過一劫。
