Message: [QUOTE="Ben Holme, post: 18360, member: 136397"] Hi Mark, As Lester pointed out, Mrs. Lindell never even made it to collapsibe A, whereas her husband, who did manage to secure a place in the swamped craft, died very shortly afterwards. As the boat became increasingly deluged with stuggling survivors, it is likely that Edvard Lindell's body was removed from the boat to allow room for the living. Thomson Beattie and the two other victims garnered from the sea by the Oceanic may simply have expired later in the morning, and at a time when overcrowding had ceased to be a problem. When 5th Officer Lowe discovered the swamped collapsible, something in the region of twelve or thirteen remained. Best Regards, Ben [/QUOTE]
