Mr Mampré (Mapriededer) Zakarian, from what was in 1912 Turkish occupied Armenia, was a Christian, and after Turkish Muslims renewed an ongoing vendetta against Christians, Zakarian and several of his compatriots, Neshan Krekorian, Arsen Siraganian, Haroutioun Zakarian and David Vartanian decided to flee the country and emigrate to Canada.
Zakarian boarded the Titanic at Cherbourg as a third class passenger.
He lost his life in the sinking. His body was recovered (#304), and buried at Fairview Cemetery, Halifax on 10 May 1912.
