Message: [QUOTE="Arun Vajpey, post: 407466, member: 146608"] Now that is interesting, especially (unless I am mistaken) the Frauenthals were also Jewish. Dr Henry Frauenthal and his wife - possibly also the brother Isaac Frauenthal - had travelled on the [I]Olympic[/I] before just like the Rothschilds but might not have been the same voyage. Even so, I expect that they might have known or become acquainted with the Rothschilds on board the[I] Titanic [/I]and - like you presume - might have socialised on board. If that was the case, their fate after the [I]Titanic [/I]struck the iceberg was quite different. All three Frauenthals got away on an early lifeboat, the #5. Steward Ray was involved in helping with the starboard lifeboats even before he met Martin Rothschild and so he might have been there when the Frauenthals escaped. But Martin Rothschild saw his wife onto Lifeboat #6, which was lowered at around 1:10 am by Lightoller and then went back to his cabin where he met Ray soon afterwards. [/QUOTE]
