Richard and all,
Very interesting question. I too have wondered if anybody has been identified in the various lifeboat shots.
Which other lifeboats were photographed, by the way, apart from boats 14, D, and 6?
Some time ago somebody sent me a copy of a photo featured in Captain Rostron's article for Scribner's Magazine and said they believed it was boat 1. Although taken from some distance, the boat in the picture does look fairly sparsely filled but I've never given serious thought to its being no. 1 since I've always believed it was one of the first ones to get to the Carpathia, meaning it got there just as dawn was breaking. This picture shows full daylight.
Has anybody any ideas on the identities of people in the boats and which boats were pictured? And which boat is in the Rostron piece?
Randy
