Message: [QUOTE="Bob Godfrey, post: 21843, member: 136612"] Prolonged immersion in the sea can 'age' a body, but No 105 (judged to be 30) hadn't been there long and Dakic was only 19 - not the sort of age at which moustaches were common, either. It's also unlikely perhaps that an Eastern European labourer travelling to find work would be wearing a suit on deck. There was one other man in 3rd Class with the same initials. Bertram Dean was 25 and looked older. As a small business owner traveling with his family he would almost certainly have been wearing a suit on board. And he definitely had dark hair and a moustache. 2nd Class passengers could have been dressed in very similar style, but there were no 2nd Class male victims with the right initials. [/QUOTE]
