I persuaded The Herald Bulletin, Anderson, Indiana to write a story about this famous gambler on the Titanic. The story appeared on April 12 2002.
"Charles Hallace Romaine was a colourful chap. A tall boisterous man with a sharp eye for money and not necessarily in the lawful sence.
But under whichever name Romaine may prove to be one of the more curious characters to board the "unsinkable" ship.
Ann Harris, 90 who is Romaine s only living relative still living was interviewed in the article. "I was about 5 years when I last saw him. I remmeber him clearly, because he was something else. He was quite handsome. He had beautiful white hair. When he came to visit, my mother and grandmother made a fuss for days prepairing for his arrival. I adored him. He was supposed to be a stock broker, that was what I was told".
C.H Romaine has been mentioned in "The night lives on", by Walter Lord, and in "Unsinkable: The full story" by Daniel Allen Butler.
Obviously it seems to be posssible to do more research about him. Anybody want to try?
