collapsible a

So we all know the story of the three men in collapsible A, who were found 200 miles from the wrecksite by the RMS Oceanic. I own an original copy of one of these newspaper articles. Supposedly there was one man in evening dinner dress and two Fireman found in states of bad decomposition. When...

When Fifth Officer Lowe commandeering lifeboat #14 helped 12 survivors out of the damaged and waterlogged Collapsible A, there were supposed to have been 3 more people on board, but sadly deceased by then. I understand that the bodies were left adrift in the boat. I believe one of the three...

"The one boat not brought back by Carpathia was Collapsible "A", which had been swamped and was deemed unsalvageable and cut adrift by Officer Lowe when he transferred survivors out of it into a more stable craft. It was found a month later by the liner Oceanic, two hundred miles from the...

Hello ! Collapsible A was found by the 'Oceanic' one month after the disaster with three bodies inside, and the crew thought them to be one passenger and two sailors. One of them was identified as 1st class passenger Mr. Thompson Beattie, and one of the 'sailors' probably was 3rd class...
