Wonderful place
Rathlin Boathouse Visitor Centre的点评
点评：Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
This centre is more like a museum and the bloke employed as custodian there has huge knowledge of the island and the wider history including Marconi’s association with this wild place that’s the most northerly part of Northern Ireland.
As I ambled he was telling a couple the story of Marconi employees who were on the Titanic in 1912. These Marconi radio operators were not employed by the White Star Line but by the Marconi Company.
They worked aboard only to send and receive messages for the passengers--this was their number one job as it made money for Marconi. This policy changed after the Titanic disaster.
The radio operators did send and receive other types of messages such as iceberg warnings but this was as a courtesy to White Star, and they were not required to deliver any messsages to the bridge. They were there for the amusement of the rich who could message their friends on land.
One Marconi operator died on the Titanic - Phillips the senior operator - but Bride was picked up by Carpathia, where he assisted the sole radio operator in dealing with a constant exchange of messages in the following hours.
The Carpathia finally docked at New York on 18 April and Marconi visited his exhausted operators on board.
I began by noting truth is stranger than fiction because I was viewing the museum pieces and from hundreds and hundreds of items my attention was caught by a letter sent in 1956 from the NI Ministry of Commerce, Chichester House, 64, Chichester Street Belfast BT1 2JP. See photographs to find it.
Now the letter didn’t contain a postcode nor a street number as I’ve added them from memory. I knew the man who signed the letter; wonderful chap who loved campanology, expensive red wine and German model trains.
He’s long dead now sadly. The odds of this happening are statistically nuts.
Now the custodian of this delightful place also has a new story to tell.
Fascinating place to visit.

翻译：有时事实比小说更离奇。
这个中心更像是一个博物馆，那里的管理员对这个岛屿和更广泛的历史有着丰富的了解，包括马可尼与北爱尔兰最北端这个荒野的联系。
当我漫步时，他正在给一对夫妇讲述 1912 年在泰坦尼克号上的马可尼员工的故事。这些马可尼无线电操作员不是受雇于白星航运公司，而是受雇于马可尼公司。
他们在船上工作只是为了向乘客发送和接收信息——这是他们的首要工作，因为它为马可尼赚钱。泰坦尼克号灾难发生后，这一政策发生了变化。
无线电操作员确实发送和接收了其他类型的信息，例如冰山警告，但这是对白星航运的礼遇，他们没有被要求向舰桥发送任何信息。他们在那里是为了让有钱人可以给他们在陆地上的朋友发信息而开心。
一名马可尼操作员在泰坦尼克号上丧生——资深操作员菲利普斯——但布莱德被卡帕西亚号救起，他在接下来的几个小时里协助唯一的无线电操作员处理不断交换的信息。
卡帕西亚号最终于 4 月 18 日停靠在纽约，马可尼在船上探望了疲惫不堪的操作员。
我首先注意到事实比小说更离奇，因为我正在参观博物馆藏品，在成百上千的物品中，我被一封 1956 年从北爱尔兰商务部寄出的信吸引住了，信的地址是贝尔法斯特奇切斯特街 64 号奇切斯特大厦，邮编：BT1 2JP。查看照片以找到它。
现在这封信没有包含邮政编码和街道号码，因为我是根据记忆添加的。我认识签署这封信的人；他是个很棒的家伙，喜欢钟表学、昂贵的红酒和德国模型火车。
遗憾的是，他早已去世。发生这种情况的几率在统计上是微不足道的。
现在，这个令人愉悦的地方的管理员也有了新的故事要讲。
令人着迷的地方。
