J A Hyman

J. A. Hyman (Titanics) Ltd is now in its fourth generation, all stemming from Joseph Abraham Hyman who founded the business in 1913, a year after the sick fated Titanic sank with the loss of over 1200 lives. Joseph was one of the lucky ones! He had set out in April 1912 for America on the Titanic with the strive to set up a life there with his brother, once founded, his wife and family were going to join him. However the finest laid plans were soon thrown into turmoil, when the un-sinkable ship hit that iceberg causing one of the worst disasters at sea. He was picked up by the Carpathia and shaken but alive managed to finish his journey and landed in America.
