Hello dear people,
I was looking at the cabin list when there raised a question. On the list Miss Emilie Kreuchen is placed in the same cabin as Mrs Edward Scott Robert. Though the "cave list" indicated this, it isn't correct. Mrs Robert's niece Elisabeth Walton Allen mentioned the following:
'My aunt's maid came to my door and asked if she could speak to me. I went into the corridor and she said, "Miss Allen, the baggage room is full of water." I replied that she needn't worry because the watertight compartments would be shut and it would be all right for her to go back to her cabin. She went back and returned to us immediately to say her cabin, which was forward on Deck E, was flooded.'
This is the evidence that Miss Kreuchen was on the forward part of E deck. I suggest she was in E11. Maybe even a cabin with a porthole, but probably not a cabin before E8. Mr Chambers and his wife were in E8 and he stated in his testimony:
'Our stateroom was E-8, on the starboard side; that is the lowest berth deck, and as far as I know, we were as far forward as any of the first-cabin passengers on that deck'
Any ideas or thoughts about this? I'm looking forward to your responses!
Regards,
Rolf
