In this lifeboat were a total of 12 people. Lady Duff Gordon and her maid Miss Francatelli. Lord Duff Gordon, a Mr Solomon and a Mr Stengel. Crew in the lifeboat were seamen Symons, Horswell. Firemen Collins, Hendrickson, Pusey, Shee and Taylor.
Crewman Symons helped Lady Duff Gordon and the maid into the boat. When the boat sailed away from the huge liner, water was already up to C Deck. This was the fourth lifeboat to leave the starboard side.
