Message: [QUOTE="Mark Robert Hopkins, post: 18355, member: 139485"] Err, actually, what happened to Steward Brown, who was reported by several sources (albeit secondary) to have jumped into Collapsible A as it floated off deck? Another thing I found curious is the Lindell couple. They were in a life boat and their bodies were never recovered? Presumably, their bodies fell or were hoisted overboard during the early morning hours after Titanic sank. If the latter is possible, I can't help wondering why, then, Beattie's body and the bodies of the others weren't hoisted overboard as well to allow relief in weight (C. A was ankle-full with water, so any relief would have helped. If the Lindells were hoisted overboard, it would be reasonable to presume that at least someone in the boat was thinking along those terms despite the self-concern of all those aboard who were dealing with the cold and discomfort). Finally, I've read that there were two other bodies with Beattie's - a stoker and a steward - yet they aren't listed. In the end, as been said, there's no 100% guarantee as to whom or how many were in Collapsible A. Still, the considerations I mention here suggest that the list Michael provides is not a complete and is therefore an inaccurate list. I'm wondering if such an accurate and complete compilation regarding Collapsible A will ever be possible. [/QUOTE]
