Mr Henry Price Hodges
Mr Henry Price Hodges, 50, a musical instruments vendor from Highfield Lane, Southampton, England, boarded the Titanic at Southampton as second class passenger. He held ticket number 250643, price: £13. He wrote a letter to Mr Hector Young, Newtown Conservative Association in Southampton, which was posted at Queenstown:
'We've had a fine time up to now. You don't notice anything of the movement of the ship. OK on top deck there are twenty boys marching round and singing. Others are playing cards and dominoes; some are reading and some writing. Everything is quite different to what we thought to see at sea.'
Mr Hodges died in the sinking. His body was recovered by the MacKay Bennett (#149).
