Everything you wanted to know about the Titanic in neat easy to navigate order on the opening page of encyclopaedia titanic, an amusing pun on Encyclopaedia Britannica. Titanica has another amusing double meaning, about the Titanic ship, a large ship, but also a large collection of facts about the ship.
On the encyclopaedia titanic website the very handy passenger list allowed me to check in two minutes which Guggenheim was on the ship - it was Benjamin Guggenheim. I could not find Mr 'Macy' but a search for Macy instantly turns up Isador Strauss who was co-owner of the Macy's department store, plus links to other articles bout who had founded the department store, and what happened afterwards.
