The shore manifest was perhaps not complete and there were mistakes in the survivor lists, particularly in the spelling of names. It would not be surprising if some people had slipped the net. The following survivors appeared in British and American newspapers over the years and yet none of them appear on the survivor list.
Newspaper reports:
1912 - Mr. Luis Klein - Titanic survivor says lookouts were asleep and officer was drunk.
1913 - Mr. Martin Moran - Titanic survivor is killed by a rush of coal at Natalie colliery.
1914 - Miss Anna Wood - Titanic survivor is examined and taken to Bellevue hospital.
1922 - Mr. Francis Jenkins - Titanic survivor dies of pnemonia. Suffered from nervous shock ever since the disaster. Mr. Jenkins was 31 years old.
1927 - Mr. Albert. V. Cowen of 841 Eighth Avenue - Charged with petit larceny. Judge suspended his sentence because he was a hero on the Titanic. His counsel told the court that Mr. Cowen had been a steward on the Titanic and saved lives in the disaster.
1948 - Mr. John. A. Rumpel - Dies at 105. He was a civil war veteran and Titanic survivor.
1961 - Mr. Logan - Austalian resident and Titanic survivor watches the film 'A Night to Remember'. (Video below).
Either the manifest was recorded inaccurately, or the proper one went down with the ship. Perhaps these people were not recorded on the
Carpathia owing to the confusion among the
Carpathia's own passengers and crew. Perhaps these people had just read about the Titanic and used the disaster as a means for publicity or sympathy. Trouble is which 'survivors' were telling the truth and did they produce any evidence that proved they were on the Titanic?
