On Deck, in Cabin,,...

As for music and people connected to it,
a new list to note those to be on deck and their last know moments or acts,
(like just before the wave moment too)
or to have remained behind, or in their cabin....or in another place...
(and to compare with bodies in cold water)

Biography of Edith Eileen Brown (Edith Haisman) : Titanic Survivor

www.encyclopedia-titanica.org

During the voyage the Browns became acquainted with film-maker William H. Harbeck (body #35) and Reverend Carter and his wife Lillian, among others. Edith also recalled being introduced to first officer William Murdoch whilst on a tour of the bridge and in later years recalled meeting a woman travelling with her husband and daughter who had never been at sea before and who was not happy at all with travelling aboard a ship.

We also learn they went back to bed (=iB) /( awake=aW), before being alarmed this time by the situation,
but it was him who alarmed them,
if this can help on the clothes worn.

We then went back to bed..."
Only minutes had passed when Edith's father returned to her cabin, this time more ashen-faced and awkward, telling them to get dressed as there was some concern over the ship's safety:

"When he spoke to us this time he acted queerly and did not look either my mother of myself in the face when he told us. We dressed hurriedly and I put on extra warm garments. My father appeared with life preservers which he strapped on to my mother and me, and then put one on himself..."

The small family made their way up to the boat deck where the evacuation was underway,

Biography of Anna Amelia Lahtinen : Titanic Victim

Lyyli recalled that the Lahtinens were standing nearby on the boat deck, with Mrs Lahtinen appearing to be very nervous. Lyyli entered what she described as the 'last lifeboat', however it is believed she left in boat 12.

In Anna Amelia biography:

Lyyli seemingly remained with the Lahtinens during the evacuation and reported that Anna, despite appearing to be very nervous, refused to be parted from her husband.

And perhaps for the color of the clothes of Amelia and her state of mind:
Upon arrival in Finland their daughter Martha became ill, possibly with meningitis and she died on 10 March 1912.

Harper awakened his daughter, picked her up and wrapped her in a blanket before carrying her up to A deck. There he kissed her goodbye and handed her to a crewman, who put her into lifeboat 11 with Miss Leitch. Rev Harper went down with the ship.

A well-known photograph of the second class promenade, in which a young girl is seen holding her father's hand, is believed by many to show young Nina Harper and her father.

Robert James Bateman : Titanic Victim

Stonemason and methodist minister Rev. Reverend Bateman sailed on the Titanic with his widowed sister-in-law Ada Balls, he died in the disaster...

www.encyclopedia-titanica.org

Too tired to take notice, Ada nonchalantly went back to sleep and was only compelled to get up and dressed when her brother-in-law arrived at her cabin and boldly instructed her to do so. He then escorted her to the boat deck and assisted her into one of the aft port lifeboats, reportedly throwing his neck tie to her as the boat (boat 10) was lowering and shouting "If I don't meet you again in this world, I will in the next."

Robert Bateman died in the sinking and his body was subsequently recovered by the cable-laying vessel Mackay-Bennett.

As the Titanic took her final plunge Mrs Abbott and her two sons jumped from the deck, she managed to get into Collapsible A but the two boys were lost. The boat had been swamped as it was launched and its occupants balanced precariously in knee-deep water until they were eventually picked up by Collapsible D. Fifth Officer Harold Lowe ensured the survivors were transferred. It drifted away with three bodies still in it, their faces covered by lifebelts.

The body of Rossmore Abbott was recovered and was buried at sea on 24 April 1912 by the Mackay-Bennett

Biography of Adolf Mathias Nicolai Olsen Humblen : Titanic Victim

www.encyclopedia-titanica.org

With the last boat pulling away they heard a call for sailors, some of the crew were trying to free a collapsible and Olaus who had six years of sailing experience as a fisherman was tempted to assist but his cousin and brother in law urged him to stay with them.

"I was standing there, and I asked my brother-in-law if he could swim and he said no. I asked my cousin if he could swim and he said no. So we could see the water coming up, the bow of the ship was going down, and there was kind of an explosion. We could hear the popping and cracking, and the deck raised up and got so steep that the people could not stand on their feet on the deck. So they fell down and slid on the deck into the water right on the ship."

When all the boats had gone Olaus and his relatives found themselves near the fourth funnel, as the Titanic sank deeper they clung to the falls of a lifeboat davit. His brother in law urged him to jump for it but Olaus waited. When the water was only five feet away they plunged in. As he surfaced Olaus became entangled in a line but somehow managed to break free, when he looked around him his brother in law and cousin were nowhere to be seen, they had been washed away.

Olaus swam for twenty minutes in the icy water before finally reaching collapsible A. surrounded by dead and dying he tried to pull himself into the waterlogged boat but someone inside shouted 'don't capsize the boat', so Olaus clung to the side for a while before eventually dragging himself aboard.
