Mr Rossmore Edward Abbott, 16, of Providence, Rhode Island boarded the Titanic at Southampton as a third class passenger together with his mother Rosa Abbott and brother Eugene.

As the Titanic took her final plunge Mrs Abbott and her two sons jumped from the deck, she managed to get into Collapsible A but the two boys were lost.

The body of Rossmore Abbott was recovered and was buried at sea on 24 April 1912
