Mr William Lucas was born in Winchester on 21 July 1886.
When he signed-on to the Titanic, on 6 April 1912, he gave his address as 2 Corporation Flats, (Southampton). He transferred from the Oceanic. As an Able Bodied Seaman he received monthly wages of £5.
As Collapsible D was lowered William Lucas of Southampton told First Class passenger Miss Edith Corse Evans, who was standing on deck, 'There's another boat going to be put down for you' but there was no boat and Edith was left behind.
Lucas was rescued, probably on Collapsible D.
William A. Lucas later served on the Derwent River, the War Mehtar, Polynesia, Bellagio, and the Constance.
