Hi All,
I’m interested in passengers and crew members who came from Russia or were Russian.
Some Russian books say that there were more than 16 russians aboard, somewhere it’s written that there were 20 immigrants from Russia, travelling to the States, but I haven’t found any information about them. None of them are listed anywhere.
I’ve done a small research and came across some people who had Russian citizenship or worked in Russia.
Here’s the list of those whom I’ve found:
1. Mr. Arthur H. Gee, 47, boarded the Titanic as a 1st class passenger at Southampton
2. Mr. Israel Nesson, 26, electrician from Russia, boarded the Titanic as a 2nd class passenger at Southampton.
3. Mr. Aaron Willer, 37, a tailor from Russia, boarded the ship at Cherbourg as a 3rd class passenger.
4. Mr. David Livshin, 25, a jeweller from Russia, boarded at Southampton as a 3rd class passenger
5. Mr. Samuel Greenberg, 52, from Russia, boarded at Southampton as a 2nd class passenger
6. Mrs. Beila Moor, 27, a tailor from Russia, boarded at Southampton as a 3rd class passenger. Survived.
7. Master Meier Moor (son). Survived.
8. Mr. Sinai Kantor, 34, lived in Vitebsk, Russia. Boarded the ship Southampton as a 2nd class passenger.
9. Mrs. Miriam Kantor (wife). Survived.
Note, that none of them had russian names or surnames, which means that they weren’t russian.
In another source I’ve found that 27 passengers from Russia boarded at Southampton:
First Class 0
Second Class 9 (3 survived)
Third Class 18 (6 survived)
Total 27 (9 survived)
But were they russian?
One of the most often mentioned russians aboard is Mikhail M. Jakovsky (I’m not sure if i spell it correct), who is said to be a crew member of the ship — he was a cashier, a son of General M. N. Jadovsky. I haven’t find any information about him.
I’m completely lost. It’s unbelievable that there were no russians aboard. Can anyone help me with this question?
Thank you,
