The Tayleur 1854: White Star line's first Titanic

The Tayleur 1854: White Star Line's first Titanic

The following is a list of passengers and crew unaccounted for and presumed lost and passenger and crew survivors taken from the book "Iron clipper 'Tayleur' - The White Star Line's 'First Titanic', written by H. F. Starkey and published by Avid Publications http://www.avidpublications.co.uk/tayleur.htm

The book is an extremely interesting and well researched read into this appalling tragedy that took place in the Irish Sea in January 1854 on the ship's maiden voyage. The Tayleur had emigrants on board, on their way to a new life in Australia

There are varying accounts of how many people were on board the Tayleur when she went down. According to the author of 'Iron Clipper' H F Starkey at the Dublin inquest it was stated that there were 488 passengers and 64 crew members and six apprentices on board. Newspaper reports of the event some weeks later were in agreement that 290 people had lost their lives. The monument at Rush records that 297 people were lost

The list below is a compilation made from provisional lists that appeared in the Liverpool Mercury and the Times within days of the sinking
