Mr Ali Lam, 37, came from Hong Kong. He was unmarried.

Lam was travelling to New York City with eight colleagues from the Donaldson Line's Anetta. He was a fireman.

While it has been alleged that some or all were stowaways on the Titanic, in fact all eight boarded the Titanic at Southampton as fare-paying third class passengers. Lee Bing, Chang Chip, Choong Foo, Ling Hee, Ali Lam, Len Lam, Fang Lang and Lee Ling travelled together on the same ticket (ticket number 1601, £56 9s 11d)

Ali Lam was rescued (1)
