Mr Joseph Colgan,¹ 33, was born in Dublin.

When he signed-on to the Titanic, on 4 April 1912, he gave his address as 27 West Street, (Southampton). His last ship had been the Majestic. As an assistant cook he received monthly wages of £3 10s.

Colgan was rescued but in which lifeboat is currently unknown (possibly boat 13).

He was apparently refused any relief from the Titanic Fund as, in common with several other claimants, he had no dependents and could work. So most likely he simply returned to sea.
