Robert Whitehead was born in Bolton in North West England, although inland it has quite a number of links to the sea, such as the Captain of the Carpathia Athur Rostron who rescued the survivors of the Titanic, everyday when going to school I would pass the plaque where he was born. The town also produced marine engines, iron plating and used to have a Royal naval gun factory at one point. And at the moment produce missiles for the Navy. My grandfather and great uncle were also in the Navy and HMS Dido was "payed" for by the town.
