We are sorry...

...that our site is mainly in German, but please stick with us! In the Swiss Titanic Society ( = Titanic-Verein Schweiz = TVS) we have members from all over the world and in recent years have welcomed English speaking members from Great Britain, Canada, the United States, Ireland and the Channel Islands.

Each issue of our quarterly magazine, "Titanic Post", contains a section entitled "Hands across the sea". This provides condensed versions of the major featured articles in English. As several of our writers are English speaking, we translate their work into German for the magazine and so, if you would like to see a full version of their article, it is possible to request a copy of their original work from our usual contact address. Even if you are unable to read the magazine in full, as many of our non-German speaking members have agreed, you will find that our often unique photos alone are well worth the membership fee.

We are proud to publish one of the leading Titanic magazines and often feature exclusive articles and many unique illustrations. To see an overview of the issues of Titanic Post published since 1992, please click here for the archive or see a low resolution sample issue: Titanic Post 53, Titanic Post 55 or Titanic Post 65 (opens as PDF on new page).  

Every summer, the Society holds its annual gathering, either in Switzerland or Germany. This is because we have a large membership in both countries and so we feel that alternating between the two is fairer for everyone attending as it helps to reduce travel time and costs. At these events, we usually combine the Society's A.G.M with lectures, sales tables and visits to Titanic related places nearby. For many years, members from as far as the USA and Britain have traveled to the gatherings and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere, with our local members making them welcome by speaking English or translating for those who are unable to do so. To get a feel for these events, take a look at our photo section.

Among other events we organized in 2004 a trip to Ireland for our members. The tour took us to Titanic related sites in Cobh, Dublin and Belfast, including Harland and Wolff. We also visited the old White Star offices in Titanic's port of registration, Liverpool in England. In 2007, the TVS were among the co-organizers of an International gathering of Titanic Societies in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where many of the victims of the disaster were laid to rest.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions about the TVS or our magazine. If you would like to become a member you would be most welcome and you can settle your annual subscription (currently 28 Euro, from 2011 onward ca. 33 Euro) by using your credit card via PayPal.
