Hi all,

The other night on television here in Australia, there was a feature story on a current affairs program about a Titanic survivor named Evelyn Marsden. She is special to us because she is the only Australian to have survived the sinking - though there was only 5 on board all up. As it turns out she has quite an interesting story to tell, being that she was a champion rower back at home and thus was one of the ladies to take the oars in the lifeboats and help to keep them moving until the Carpathia arrived. It was not particularly considered to be a woman's domain in 1912 but she had already made it her own. Also, she had sailed on the Titanic to pursue a love interest with a doctor who was supposed to be working aboard the Titanic, but who had been transferred and so Evelyn had had to sail anyway.

You can watch the story here, it really is very interesting:
