It couldn't have been lifeboat number 7 or 3. I also don't believe he was in lifeboat number 5 as the boat by my counting is getting very full compared to the estimates given.
Jack Thayer made quite a few improbable remarks - like Ismay's hair turning white on board the Carpathia etc - and so I would not give too much cradence to what he said. At one stage I believed that there might be something in Jack's comment that it was McElroy who fired those two shots into the air when some people tried to rush Collapsible C but over time I changed my mind.
I also dont think that Daniel was on #7 or #5....and he did not appear to be on Lifeboat #1. But I still think Lifeboat #3 is a possibility.
