My favorite Titanic passenger is The Allison and Ruth Becker but that is many of the passengers that are my favorite so it hard do decide.

[Joshua]

I can't decide between 6 of them. Hmmmmm. I'll have to say either Thomas Andrews or Archibald Gracie.

My favorite passenger is my grandfather James Von Drew because he put his family into a life boat and despite the room on the boat refused and died later on that night. He is a hero.

My favorite passenger is my grandfather James Von Drew

James "Von" Drew, or James "Vivian" Drew? And was he your grandfather, or your great grandfather, as you said here?

[WMurdoch]

Sorry my mistake it was Vivian I spoke to my mom after I posted and she told me that I got the middle name wrong and forgot to fix it. he is my great grandfather. The only thing I do not know is if he was a second class passenger or a third class passenger. I am still researching.

Look here. Fortunately for you the Drews are among the better-known passengers; there should be plenty of information available.

[WMurdoch]

Thank you !!!! That will be a great help !

Ismay. I'm fascinated by him as a person and his treatment by the American press.

I like Hudson Allison and his family. Cause their story is a tragedy, cause of Alice Cleaver stealing their baby, Trevor. Also they don't know if Allison, their daughter, survived either.

hI Folks
I have never has I recall posted on this thread re favourite passengers but one that clearly springs to mind was not a passenger but a member of Titanics Ship Company.
I do not recall his name or trade on board but I believe he was a Baker whome seeing his fate unfolding turned to the bottle and once intoxicated threw himself over the side and swam around and back and forth untill pulled into a Lifeboat.

I asume the Whiskey warmed his body up in the freezing water. I understand he survived the sinking considering some poor souls died from the cold in the Lifeboats after being pulled out the icey water?
I am sure the story is true . I am a bit vauge re name ?profession has I said above but he was played in both films re Night to remember and Titanic.

I know whats gonna happen now someones gonna tell me Iam wrong there is no account of the incident and blame it on the press or the film makers Only joking.
Kind regards to all Pete.

You are thinking of the baker, Charles Joughin.

He admitted only to a couple of drinks and his story grew in the telling. He can't have been very drunk, as he kept his head better than most and had the sense to get outside the stern rail, as shown in Cameron's movie.
