Lucy duff Gordan a well known dress designer and Sir Cosmo a
Scotsman who’s ancestor was James Duff in British council. They got on a
lifeboat and took there servants with them
After watching the ship dive beneath the water, amidst
the screams of the 1,500 people calling for help that they were ignoring, the
tactless Lucy commented to her secretary, "There is your beautiful
nightdress gone." Two sailors commented "It's all right for you, you
can get more clothes, but we have lost everything." Cosmo then gave the
men a "fiver" each ($360.00 today) to help them out, a gesture that
would cost him a lot more later when he was accused of bribing the crew to let
him escape the liner and then row away without helping any of the victims in
the water.
Miss Edith Brown who is the oldest living person that was on
board the titanic who died on January 20th 1997. In 1993 she
preached her oral
I was in
Lifeboat #13. I always remembered that. My father was waving to us and talking
to a clergyman, the Rev. Carter."
"The
Titanic went in the ice and I heard three bangs. Before we hit, there had been
terrific vibrations from the engines during the night as the ship was really
racing over the sea."
"As
the lifeboat pulled away we heard cries from people left on the Titanic and in
the water and explosions in the ship. There were lots of bodies floating ... We
were in the lifeboat nine hours."
"I
kept looking in the water for my father and when we reached New York we went to
the hosptials to see if he had been picked up."
Edith married
the late Frederick Haisman in South Africa. They had 10 children and more than
30 grandchildren.
There was a section about the different movies of the
titanic and there was one movie in Germany that came to my mind where the British
were the failures and it was a German who had to come to mind to save the
people they also looked at different movies from different countries some of
which I found to be interesting others I did not. Like a movie they did in Britain
in the 1960s
There are some amazing things that you can find blow where
the titanic sank and scientist are still looking now. Some of the think
that were shown I showed in my previous blogs but things like jewellery camber
pots and other things that would have been used during the time of the titanic.
To this day there are still people who want to look and learn as much as they
can from the titanic
