As a passenger on the first two legs of Titanic''s ill fated voyage, Father Francis Browne SJ''s photographs are an immensely important record. As well as taking a unique set of photos, Father Browne also assembled an incredibly valuable album of Titanic material such as an original deck plan, menus, letters to him from fellow passengers, contemporary newspaper cuttings and other documents, many of which are reproduced here.

For many years the photographs of Fr Browne were forgotten until 1985 when Fr
