The story of the loss of the White Star Line's 'First Titanic' the iron clipper 'Tayleur' on her maiden voyage from Liverpool to the Australian goldfields... built more than 60 years BEFORE the Titanic. The similarities between the two disasters are almost incredible.

	Both vessels were registered at the Port of Liverpool and operated by the White Star Line.
	Each was described as the largest, the fastest and the most comfortable passenger vessel ever built.
	They were lauded as the strongest and safest built vessels of their time.
	Both vessels were on their maiden voyage.
	Both were designed with watertight compartments and considered the safest ships afloat.
	Each ship was carrying hundreds of emigrants to new lives in distant lands of opportunity. When the tragedy unfolded both vessels were beyond outside help.
	The lifeboats on both ships were unable to cope with disaster when it struck.
	The wrecks of each of these vessels remained undetected for many years.
	Each event prompted shipping companies to adopt additional safety procedures.
