    Lifeboats #4 and Collapsible D

    I have a slightly off beat question to which I want to form a mental picture of the answer. Would appreciate any help, thanks. Between 01:40 am and about 01:50 am when Lifeboat #4 was finally lowered from A-deck, there would have been several people around the boat who were hoping for but...

    I read in Senan Moloney's book 'The Irish Aboard the Titanic' that the brothers were cared for in Collapsible D by Mary Kelly (third class passenger who boarded at Queenstown). Does anybody have any info about this. Apart from Moloney's book I have not seen it discussed so anything would be...

    Collapsible D

    Can someone please be so kind as to refresh my memory. I know that collapsible D was launched at 2.05am, but I can't find the source. I'd be very grateful if someone could help! Thanks! Paul
