Mr Walter Wynn, 41, was born in Chester.
He signed-on to the Titanic in Belfast on 25 March 1912, indicating
that he had transferred from the Oceanic
[1]. When he signed-on again in Southampton on 6 April 1912, he gave his address
as 81 Church St. (Southampton).
Quartermaster Bright reported that it was Wynn
who told him the ship had had a collision with an iceberg. Mr Wynn was rescued
in lifeboat 9.
Wynn was not detained by the Seante Inquiry and returned to England.
