Titanic 2021: Major Archibald Butt

 Titanic 2021: Major Archibald Butt by ric gustafson


Major Archibald Butt was an adviser and confidant to President William Howard Taft. Before Titanic, Butt was busy helping Taft in his reelection fight against Woodrow Wilson. Taft would lose to Wilson. Butt requested a vacation to try and avoid burnout. 
On Titanic, Butt had joined Captain Smith on the night the liner sank. He helped get women and children into the lifeboats. Taft was devastated when he learned that Butt did not survive.
