These were three Albanian brothers who survived the titanic

It was over a century from superhuman calamity that 100 years ago claimed 1517 lives, and today it is gaining more and more legend.

Founding the Titanic that W's builders built IHT E STAR LINE was considered endless, sank, drowned, but its legend hovers and does not flood.

The drowning enigma at that dark midnight, between April 14 - 15, 1912, will be “flame” It will be suspended and torment the heads of many scholars, scientists, writers, directors, and roaming the quay, holding back.

Enigma will remain a mystery and live in immortality. The hour of the death of “Titanic” became and the hour of the birth of his tragic history, his legend.

Not a piece of Titanic, not even if it's pulled out of the bottom of the ocean, it's going to be <x0 ft.”, never more than 700 survivors have ever spoken. Rather, it will be a museum of sighs, pains and curiosity to tourists and visitors.

At that tragic midnight, Albanian voices were heard. But no one, no Albanian government, asked for 100 years: There were no Albanians in the Titanic. Frozen interest like the tears of “Lottin”

Tullga caravans

On a page of one of the old records of Corca City's Civil Status Office, there are among others the names of three brothers: Vanghel, Christach and Thanas.

You're impressed by the detailed data on each of the languages spoken, the caravan profession, and finally: Away to U.S. Kurbes in 1912. As Vanjuk, who has been studying the family trunk in detail, and especially the Titanic incident, which for ten decades has been present in his family and tribe, his surname Tullga was left with nofka <x0-tula”, (“x3> in the choir dialect, because the men of this tribe were bald.

They lived in Upper Malavez, on Dishnica, a village that no longer exists, apart from the masquerades, whose time has been devastated underground. This tribe's men exercised the caravan profession, served people with tins and chariots to transport them from one country to another, but also in Macedonia, Greece, and Bulgaria.

It was a time when America had raised interest in the whole world, but also for Albanians. The Tullga family also decided to escort three boys, Vangel (Geljan) 30 years old, Christaqi (Kicen), 27, and Thanas (Nassca) 25. The three married men, all three powerful, with difficulty and hands eating for work.

After extracting “navlot” ) set out from Corca, from “The guide became Visari, or Visca, as they were spoken of by the Tullga tribe and lived in Athens and was involved in the guidance of exiles.

After spending a few days in Piraeus, he had forwarded three Tullga brothers with a Greek vapo for Inglitera. Words had been spread out, that he would leave England for America, a <x0pamporr” very large, very luxury, never seen, brand new and very safe. Pride of the seas, they said.

Three Tullga brothers couldn't miss the chance to travel with this giant. The family, when they learned that the boys would travel with him, rejoiced greatly that they would arrive safely because the ship was impassable.

Weeks and months passed... The Tullga family waited anxiously for news of the arrival of the boys in America. Waiting broke into a nightmare after the black news of the Titanic drowning had also invaded Albania.

In the house of the Tullgas, there was a puzzle like the disturbance: “The boys have been saved, did they have”? A letter from Boston arrived a long time ago. The envelope was not surrounded with black strips on its side, which meant no cobra was involved.

Big brother wrote it, Gela. He used to say: We're alive. We have been saved by the great God. We've seen death with our eyes. We got work to do. Kicya and I at an enameljo factory, Nasca entered Boston barber. Don't worry about us.

Thanas had left his wife, Sophia and a little girl in Albania. They send them haber that the girl was not well... He figured something out and came back.

With his arrival at home, he resumed his whereabouts. His wife, Sophia, had also died. Sophia was from the Precave Tribe, Nasi Bechka's sister from Chiflig. Pain pain! Wounds on wounds. The middle brother's bride, Christaqi, who had left a son...

Thanas ' story: “How we boarded a mountain of iron”

Thanas ' confessions, at midnight on April 14th-15, 1912, became daily events in the House of Tullga. Anyone who came to visit him for the presidency or welcomes him would certainly ask him about the Titanic tragedy.

Those stories went from mouth to mouth, from generation to day, that Vangjhi tells so excitedly and correctly as if he had personally experienced that event, even though her grandfather died when he was senior in high school in Korca. My grandfather, Thanas Tullga, relates Vanjuk, had a phenomenal memory and was curious.

He remembered every detail of the journey in detail. It was April 10, 1912, on Wednesday, when they boarded Titanic at the port of Southampton and were amazed to see it. No gossip had spread that until then, no such majestic vapo had broken open seas and oceans. He was harmless.

It was like a <x0mal iron pen, as much as Morava, a separate town that drove sea and sea thundering from light and luxury, until the eyes were darkened and the men were taken by”, Naska reported.

Viska's tickets were free of charge in Class III, where all were exiles, poor people who went to the new world for work. During the trip, we had conversations with some Greeks, as they knew Greek, while some Greeks knew that they had been in America and did so for them.

It was like in a madness where people weren't crazy, but they passed it on to them”

Sunday, April 14, 1912. The clock marked 23.40 minutes. It took 20 minutes to get midnight. While traveling in the cold waters of northern Atlantic, the Titanic trembled as if struck by a mountain. Iceberg... The underground mountain of ice viciously attacked the mountain of iron from below.

Above, in Class I had begun dread. We of Class III didn't know what was going on up there, Nash told us. A crew representative had given them the fatal news that the Greeks had translated. The ship goes down for about two and a half hours... Capiden Edward Smith wishes her abandoned.

Save who can... Now the great Captain Smith was in charge of the drowning. They were all on deck. The legend they had seen has no mouth to tell or write.

Strange scenes filled with horror and trembling. It was like in a madness where people weren't crazy, but they passed it on to them”...

Only musicians played the worst instruments. He used musical instruments, weeping, and musicians to convey people and themselves to music in the next world! A horror!

We're out of fear. That life is especially beautiful when death looks into your eyes and you don't bring it near, said Nasca. We had to make a decision. And we got it. Let's all jump into the water. Like it was written by God.

Either way, we should be together, next to each other, even at the bottom of the ocean. We had to escape. Our decision gave us strength and hope to live. But how? Without a sailing device in the middle of the ocean! We looked around. Empty shaking tables, slippery chairs... Who could become the means of salvation?

They put it... They took the table, then they took it from a chair... and we jumped “, plus” with them right into the water... The terrible screams seemed to come out of the water and ascend like a prayer and a curse.

swiming in chairs approached the table, which had been thrown over the water. We put our hands on her. We fought death. We had to save death. But death followed. It took the power of the fortune”

They expelled death with the courage of age, even of the indiscreet people. Suddenly, they catch sight of a overthrown boat plowing over the water.

Like they saw a little light of salvation. They gave her, along with others, and returned her well. A overturned boat overturned its destiny and turned it into life. That boat became the savior of survival. He was held by his hands. They fled to escape the absorption of the boat when it was completely shipwrecked. They ran away across the ocean, without direction, and fled, and the cold was long before the ice died.

After two hours and 40 minutes, the treacherous mountain of ice defeated the mountain of iron... So long it took the ocean to swallow that iron mountain. And when he could swallow it, he quickly split it in two, and then, as he let out an awful roar as the ocean trembled, he swallowed it and carried it 2787 feet deep. The Titanic had “pire” inside its lungs 25 million liters of water. And above all, so many people had never been killed.

That's why Tanas Tugla said that “Titanik” killed the lamb

Thanas Tullga, who arranged for Christaqi's family and son, after he too had lost his wife in death, made his way back to America. In 1920 he returned to Korca, married Vangelia, and never left.

He died in Korca in the 1960 ' s, leaving behind children, grandchildren, and the extraordinary story of survival. Many had asked, Why did the Titanic drown?

And the one with the common man's logic and the irony of the choir said: "The “killed the haughty mare and the loss of the tou... No one could have died if they heard signals from fellow ships that they were concerned about diverting mountains of ice.

Very few people could have died, there were no boats, and those that were left ran away. In this world there is no immortal, unfathomable”. Today, children and grandchildren of Christach, one of the Tullga brothers, live in America.

Ilo Sea, earlier confirmed as “Albanian in Titanic”

20 years ago, to look at the VAT, in my family in Tirana, the film “Titaniq” (the oldest), red - fashioned Mother Olymbie Stoya, while séia shared the screen's eyes with untamed curiosity, repeated with constant pain: Poor Ilua of Cove has seen death with her eyes” Poor Louis. (Americans “Louis”)

She surprised me when she told me that in that big <x0...Popporr that sank” was her cousin Ilo the Sea from the Red Vith Red.

Through surprise, curiosity and disbelief, for weeks I used the press of time in the National Library, I looked through books as far as I could, but I couldn't find the name of Ilo Sea, Albanian survivors of the Titanic tragedy.

But in the contacts I made with the Ilo Sea family in Korca, I became convinced of the truth and published in 1992, in the newspaper “Pasçyra” where I was editor-in-chief, writing “an Albanian in “Titanic”.

After me, he writes about this event, just turning to the facts that brought back the script to “an Albanian in Titan”, but the only one who showed professional interest, who followed the story with persistence and curiosity and brought new facts that I left in the middle was journalist Ferdinand Murati. But surprise continues.

Only the stars of heaven can tell that night of terror

Three more hours of horror and horror, rolling over the ocean on that boat. The moon was gone. Stars moved in terror and terror over the ocean and went through what they had never seen. They would pass through their heads and kiss him crying for the dead half dead, but the living who trembled and held their heads to the sky...

Only stars can tell everything that happened that night. But those stars sent a miracle, a glad tidings, that death was about to end.

A ship... the Greek ship Carpathia... after five to six hours of signal “SOS” came to the scene of death to save. He gave the first signal “SOS” for the glacier zone, for the iceberg but were not dependent.

And the mighty mariners separated themselves like lightning upon the sea, and smote the dead (who were able), the half dead of the living together. Only 700 had survived. He was called by a trumpet: Are there any survivors... Is there anyone alive? ... Those cries of pain and prayer devoured the ocean...

Then it was quietly headed towards America, New York, with the driver that no one would want and the love of those that Carpathia became the God of salvation” Other ships had arrived. The Carpathia Vasporri, after three-four days, on April 18th, took us to New York, showing Nasca.

They sent us to Boston, where we looked. We did business. The U.S. government supported us, gave us help and reward, all of us survivors that we lost everything, but we regained life, life, and a story that wasn't just history, it was also a tragedy, that will be confessed as legend.

In this world, there are no immortal, unsurpassed

After two hours and 40 minutes, the treacherous mountain of ice defeated the iron mountain. So long it took the ocean to swallow that iron mountain. And when he could swallow it, he quickly split it in two, and then, as he let out an awful roar as the ocean trembled, he swallowed it and carried it 2787 feet deep. The Titanic had “pire” inside its lungs 25 million liters of water.

Three more hours of horror and horror, rolling over the ocean on that boat. A ship... the Greek ship Carpathia... after five to six hours... came to the impact of death to save. He gave the first signal “SOS” for the glacier zone, for the iceberg, but they hadn't hung it.

The poor sailors split up like lightning on the sea and gathered the dead (who could), half dead, and living together. Only 700 had survived.

Then the ship was quietly headed towards America, New York, with cargo that no one would ever wish for and with the love of those that Carpathia became “the God of salvation” Other ships had arrived. The Carpathia Vasporri, after three-four days, on April 18th, took us to New York, showing Nasca. They sent us to Boston, where we looked. We did business. The U.S. government supported us, provided us with help and rewards, all of us survivors, that we lost everything, but we regained, life”.
