  I went to a Titanic exhibition in Melbourne. They gave us boarding passes with the names of real passengers, then you checked whether your passenger survived. Mine was a third class passenger. She survived!

  You can read about every passenger and crew onboard in the "Encyclopedia Titanica".

  Maggie Brown should be a role-model. Major Arthur Peuchen, the yachtsman from first class who was permitted to climb down the falls into boat 6 by second officer Lightoller when the occupants said there was only one seaman aboard, said to reporters later that the women in the boat were "plucky", and I think Mrs. Brown was the reason they had courage. She told off Quartermaster Hitchens and nothing stirs up courage like a fearless woman can. You really should read all about her.

  My favorite is Ida Strauss and her husband Isadoor. He was offered a seat in a life boat due to his age and status. He refused. He let others go ahead of him mostly women and children. Then when they tried to sit his wife Ida in the life boat she refused. Not willing to leave her husband behind. They lived together, they DIE together. But she went and got her personal maid and wrapped her in her own mink coat and made sure she was seated in the life boat. &nbsp;@ <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IKD1FVVnyU&amp;t=760">12:40</a> - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IKD1FVVnyU&amp;t=959">15:59</a>

  Elsie Boardman: another &quot;plucky&quot; occupant of Boat Six. Thank you.<br><br>Lucie Duff-Gordon was the sister of the popular novelist Elinor Glynn. They may have been born in London but they lived through much of their childhood in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Their mother married a man from Jersey, so they left their grandmother in Guelph and grew up in Jersey, where they met Lillie Langtry, the actress and one of King Edward VII&apos;s mistresses. I believe Lillie&apos;s example encouraged them to never give up on themselves. Elinor survived a weak &quot;P.G. Winehouse character&quot; husband and became a popular novelist and a Hollywood personality. She christened Clara Bow &quot;the It Girl&quot; because she had that sensual something called &quot;It&quot; and wrote a movie starring Clara. Lucie had the genius to make doll&apos;s dresses from fabric scraps, and she grew up to dress both herself and her sister in what was then considered sensual, flowing garments as well as lingerie (because how could one drape a flowing gown on a stiff set of undergarments) that was considered &quot;deliciously decadent&quot;. Really, they were an amazing pair of women for their time.

  The Earl and Countess of Rothes was wealthy but not wealthy enough to keep the ancestral Scottish castle. He had gone ahead to buy a fruit farm in California. She was on Titanic to join him. Apparently the venture did not turn out well because they did not stay.<br><br>Helen Churchill Candee had a &quot;coteree&quot; of male friends in First class (according to the book &quot;A Night to Remember&quot; ) who offered her their protection since she was travelling alone. I don&apos;t think she needed their help, but they probably found her to be intelligent and informative company.

  Absolutely criminal. To start with the ship might have had the `legal` number of lifeboats on board but it was far short of what was required. &nbsp;They cut corners by not providing them plus the extra lifeboat were said to spoil the appearance of the ship. The officers and crew failed to conduct the necessary lifeboat drills so when the emergency did occur, there was chaos among the crew and passengers. &nbsp;The lifeboats left without the full number of passengers that they could have held. &nbsp;The SOS sent gave the wrong location due to a miscalculation. &nbsp;The ship failed to fire all the emergency flares that other boats might have seen. &nbsp;The investigation was a whitewash, completely ignoring the fact the captain disregarded iceberg warnings and was sailing too fast. The company wanted a record crossing time. &nbsp;Over 1500 lives were lost, whole families wiped out in third class, crew member who did survive had to pay/arrange for their own passage home and little compensation was given to survivors. &nbsp;The findings in both the US and British investigations were biased towards the wealthy cruise line.
