Hi y'all,
I was wondering which cabin Daniel Buckley held, most likely on G-Deck.
His testimony:
"
I heard some terrible noise and I jumped out on the floor, and the first thing I knew my feet were getting wet; the water was just coming in slightly. I told the other fellows to get up, that there was something wrong and, that the water was coming in. They only laughed at me. One of them says: "Get back into bed. You are not in Ireland now."
F-Deck by this time was not flooding. I do not believe His cabin was aft of the No. 2 hatch, as water had not gotten to the Post Office, if I recall correctly. If he was in those aft cabins (picture below), how did water get that far aft seconds after the collision?
So I believe he was in those cabins forward of the Squash Court
Also, Did Mr. Buckley get confused?
At the Inquiry he says:
Senator SMITH. I wish you would tell the committee in what part of the ship this steerage was located.
Mr. BUCKLEY. Down, I think, in the lower part of the steamer, in the after part of the ship; at the back.
