Titanic Survivors: The Fortunate Few Second Class Men

Bys: Schillow, Dru T. and Schillow, Ned W.

As the water closed over the stern of the sinking Titanic on April 15, 1912, a total of 1496 people went to their watery graves. Only 712 people survived in lifeboats that night.

Of the 168 men in second class, a mere handful were rescued. How had these few fortunate men managed to survive? Was it simply a matter of being at the right place at the right time? Were some rescued after being thrown into the ice cold Atlantic? Did their places in the lifeboats come at the expense of women and children who ended up perishing on board after being deprived of their own seat? Did any of the men actually sneak into a lifeboat, unnoticed until they were carried safely away from the sinking vessel? Or was it just luck?

Here are the stories of those fortunate fourteen men who made it to safety and lived to tell their stories of being second class male passengers aboard RMS Titanic and surviving the disaster.
