I just checked what I have on Mr. Mellor and I must confess I cannot find any actual reference to him having been on the forward part of the deck. In his claim for compensation he does not mention anything which implies he was forward either.

The only problem here being that there there were very few first class passengers saved in the aft lifeboats (excluding 9 and 10 that were on the border of the first class promenade deck). There were some, but the overwhelming majority of first class passengers stayed in their area, the forward...

Yes, boat D took ten or twelve from boat 14 when that boat transferred its passengers. I count 29, by the way.

My point is that I do not believe any second class passengers moved forward at all, having emerged via the second class stairway near boats 13 and 14 (or thereabouts). Lawrence Beesley stated he saw some ladies who tried to go forward being stopped by crew, if memory serves me right. Miss Troutt...

The only problem here is of course that second class passengers simply did not walk forward of the aft boat deck - they all seem to have stayed there; people did not exactly run back and forth during the night of the sinking. To the best of my knowledge there were no second class passengers...

I have read a few of Edwina Troutt's accounts and I must admit I have not seen any reference to the Allisons in those intervifews (how would she have known them?) I cannot exactly recall the she said she actually saw Miss Keane enter a lifeboat either...?

It was thought in 1912 that the Navratil boys were rescued in boat D, but evidence is actually rather scant; Hugh Woolner is the only source for this and he only mentioned one child - he thought it was one of the Navratil boys, but he did not say he was certain. As far as I know there were no...

Oscar Wilhelm Johansson was probably not on collapsible A; he left in a lifeboat together with Oscar Hedman, according to one interview with Mr. Hedman (who gave several, partly contradictory, interviews about his escape)

Re the 'Daniel letter' - it has been suggested the letter is in fact fake. I have actually only seen a short excerpt of it (as far as I know).

.Alice Klasen married Emil Peter Edwards in Los Angeles on 29 July, 1911. His parents were Peter and Hannah Löfqvist and they were Hulda Kristina Klasén's (she travelled with Klas Albin and Gertrud Emilia) parents, so the families knew each other without a doubt. Alice and Emil had two sons...

Dear everybody, Miss Sloan was very likely in boat No. 12, at least according to an interview in the Daily Mirror (I believe this was May 4). Best regards, Peter

Re Mr. Livshin per above; there is also a possibility that he was the alleged fourth person picked up by boat 14.

Holly, Jamilia Nicola Yarred described having to shove the lifeboat away from the side of the ship, indicating her presence in boat C and the Asplunds were part of a big crowd and ended up in a lifeboat which was absolutely full. She never mentions picking people up from the sea, and I believe...

Rest in peace, Millvina

Mary Sloan describes (Daily Mail, I believe) her escape in boat No. 12. Peter

Hello, Mike, delighted to hear from you! Actually, I don't think it was ever established who, if any, called to Miss Evans that there was another boat... Perhaps I am mistaken, however, but I cannot remember who said this....At any rate, Miss Evans was not the only lady in that area. Best...

hello, everybody. Actually, I believe Caroline Brown entered boat 4, based on her interviews, and not D. There were other ladies near No. 4, besides Edith Evans, who did not enter it; Martta Hiltunen and Mrs. Chapman, e. g.

Everybody, I have only seen one interview with Caroline Brown, but that interview describes incidents relating to boat 4 only - how do we know she was in D? Peter

Lester, I have only found a note that I took from the Southampton Daily Echo, April 1913, where families remembered their lost Titanic-relatives, and James Hart, 51 College Street was remembered by mother, brother Thomas et. al. I have got the full text somewhere, but by the look of things in...

Lester, he was 51 at the time of death. I shall have to search for the actual obituary (I don't know where it might be right now). I will post the information as soon as I find it. Peter
