hi mates, the survivor Eleanor Johnson in an interview tells a curious fact: her mother was taken to the bottom of the Carpathia to warm up... you talk about a place with heated tubes, does anyone know if this happened to other passengers? where could these places be?
Has anyone ever compiled a list of the known deaths on April 15, not caused by drowning or hypothermia.

Hypothermia is a condition that the body enters into...
Greetings from San Francisco,
I am a critical care physician with research interests in immersion hypothermia. I have long been impressed by the remarkable story of Charles Joughin, Titanic's chief baker. Reportedly, he survived over 3 hours in the sub-zero water.
Some accounts have...
