The Titanic sank on April 15, 1912, off the coast of Newfoundland. The memory of the R.M.S Titanic faded quickly overshadowed by two world wars and a great depression, she disappeared from the public eye, as surely as she disappeared from the surface of the ocean. Some years later it was found, and in 1999 the hunt was on for the memorial windows that had come from the Watts chapel.

In 1926 Dr. Barnardo's enlarged the Chapel so it would seat all 300 boys and staff they added two windows in memory of Frederick Humby that had been commissioned by his family, friends and staff of Watts.  They took pride of place for many years until the school was closed in 1949. The windows were then removed and installed in the Dr. Barnardo's Chapel at Stepney Causeway. Then in 1968 with the impending closure of the Stepney Headquarters a year later the windows were placed into storage at The Boys Garden City, Woodford Bridge. The windows then go missing with the closure of The Boys Garden City. In 1999  Barnardo's are trying to find the windows and are unable to find any bill of sale or any clue to the whereabouts of the two windows. The Windows then turn up in America at Houston, Texas, where they are being looked after by the new owner Jim Ellis who with his wife purchased one and his friend purchased the other window at auction.

With the birth of the World Wide Web some years later they were able to do some further research and only recently were able to find out the Dr Barnardo's Watts Connection, they found that Fred had entered Dr. Barnardo's aged nine and had left Watts Naval School in 1910 aged 15 He then gets his first sea Job on the SS Hildebrand. He is then signs on with the White Star line on the brand new, unsinkable, luxury liner R.M.S Titanic as a plate steward on D Deck 2nd Class Pantry area for which he received a monthly wage of £3.15s plus full board. Fred boarded at Southampton aged 16 years of age, one of 885 crew members.

His job would have been cleaning the silverware with three others. His birth was on the port side of E deck (about level with the first funnel) and opened directly onto the main working alleyway nicknamed 'Scotland Road'. which birthed 21 stewards, of these 21 men, only 6 survived. The youngest of the victims was Alfred Hopkins, another Hampshire lad, who was one of the plate stewards working in First Class and was just 16 years old. Only one of the three (Arthur Burrage) survived the sinking.

Today R.M.S Titanic lies almost 1900 miles from Southampton, England - the place where the adventure began and 1500 miles from New York - the would be final destination. The Titanic is located about 1000 miles due east of Boston, Massachusetts and approximately 375 miles southeast of St Johns Newfoundland. Today the ghostly bow points towards New York and is about 2½ mile down on the sea bed and was found 75 years after sinking.
