voices of Titanic: Lifeboat 1 by ric Gustafson


This lifeboat was launched from the starboard side at 1:05 am. This lifeboat had a capacity of 40 but only had twelve on board. There were seven crew members on board. The passengers were Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon, his wife Lady Lucy Duff Gordon, Laura Mabel Francatelli, Abraham Solomon and Charles Stengel. The lifeboat was under the watch of Lookout George Symons.
Lucy Duff Gordon was a well known fashion designer. The Gordon's spent time with Mr and Mrs Thayer. On the night of the disaster, they met Mr and Mrs Edgar Meyer in the lounge. She was awakened by a funny rumbling noise. The lifeboat was the Captain's emergency boat. Inside the boat were stokers and George Symons.
Lifeboat 1 was the second boat to be rescued by the Carpathia.
