Cornelius Patraig Marrow, Born on May 16th, 1869, hails from Belfast. Originally working in the shipbuilding industry, Cornelius eventually found a knack for writing and columnist journalism and went abroad to North America for a while, covering the development of several projects including the Florida East Coast Railway’s extension to Key West in January of 1912.

Marrow’s next assignment was to bring him to Southern Europe aboard the Carpathia when she diverted to pick up survivors of the Titanic Disaster. Returning to Britain, Marrow continued coverage of railway operations and observing and interviewing striking workers during the labor disputes of the early 1910s.

He is boarding the Britannic to ultimately do a piece on the nation’s Hospital Ships and what they do for the war effort.
