40 Interesting Photos Of The Titanic Survivors
video description
She owned a brownstone in Brooklyn and my mom and brother still live there. But when i was coming up in the 80s and 90S. i remember the Victorian looking furniture and the antique radio! At 14 and 15 years old. back in the early 1990s. i remember used to just stare at that old antique radio. i was infatuated with that big clunky looking thing. the old fashioned wallpaper and furniture. made it feel like i was in an Eduardian time machine. My grandma was Nanas only child. She raised us. She once blurted we have irish ancestry. She was very fairskinned. I was the lightest of her grandkids. and when i took my DNA test. yup. turns out i was 14 %caucasian. 6%of that was irish. I always felt a pull towards the past. towards european immigrants. ellis island. and of anything from the old days. Even though im black. i love 80s and 70s music. white men. haha. and before my DNA results taken in 2018. i was always drawn to the st pattys day parade. Of Carribean descent. my grandma tried to teach me how to eat properly and set the table just like in the movie Titanic. lol. When my Nana died in 1984 at the age of 82 or 83. I went to school bragging about it. trying to get sympathy from people. Now that I look back. I interacted with an an ancestor who was born in the late 1800s. How cool is that

5: 50 It's worth mentioning that the French brothers Michel and Edmond Navratil had been kidnapped by their father, a Slovakian citizen, after the marriage with their Italian born mother fell apart.
He intended to start a new life in America assuming a new identity - that's why all 3 were travelling under the false surname Hoffmann - and it's extremely likely that their mother would have never known whatever happened to them had the Titanic not sunk that night. Doesn't bear thinking.
As it turns out however, the Titanic sank and the father went down with it. When his body was recovered from the sea (body#15, it was found that he was carrying a revolver in his pocket. Because of his assumed surname, Hoffmann, he was buried in a cemetery assigned for Jewish victims.
The little kids on the other hand were mercifully rescued on the last lifeboat to be launched (collapsible D, and once in America, the authorities tried to find any relatives to look after them. They had the work cut out for them as the children didn't understand English (they only responded to French) and were far too young to know their own surname, let alone the names of other relatives, addresses, etc.
The sinking had made headlines all over the world and continued for some time; the photo of those poor French speaking orphans who couldn't find their family followed suit. One can only start to imagine how their poor mother back in France must have felt when she opened the newspaper and saw the portrait of her babies as survivors of the Titanic, no less. Thankfully she was able to reunite with them soon after.
I guess it's a small grace, among all the inimaginable horror and pain, that at least this tragedy allowed a mother to reunite with her kidnapped children.

It must have been terrible psychologically for the survivors of the titanic, past the story of the Sinking of the day before, to realize that you are alive, that you survived, but that 1500 other people remained there.
Even if deep down they should be happy to be, it must be complicated to start a new life afterwards, with a whole bunch of existential questions, why me and not my neighbor, my wife, my husband or my children, I think, or at least, I make the assumption that among these survivors in the months following their repatriation, some simply committed suicide, too psychologically damaged to continue living, only at the time did people not follow, these survivors, in psychiatry to solve the problem of Post trauma.

I wonder if a father with 2 young children would have been allowed to board a life boat. I suppose yes since the father of the two very young, initially unidentified, boys was able to. If a mother was actually on the ship, she could have boarded another lifeboat alone. Deceptive and unchivalrous, but it may have enabled a whole family to live. I think everyone on the ship was in shock and was feeling abject terror if they understood the ship was sinking and did the best they could.

My maternal great grandfather was on board the Carpathia (hence the name, muntii Carpati, Carthpathian mountain range running through Romania) coming to work in the States for a awhile from Romania. Teodor was his name. When he returned back home to Romania later on he would recall the sad and cold pasengers that were rescued. Unde dai si unde crapa moment: .

I am always fascinated with the myth, history and stories of the 'unsinkable' Titanic. I read many texts and saw many videos for years. It is interesting to note that the iceberg is 100, 000 years old. My heart flows for souls and survivors of the Titanic. It is great the ship still fascinates the world.

Sad, how so many men allowed women & children to be saved first, yet today's women talk about inequalities, the disadvantages, and how terrible men were back then, as well as today. I'd like to see the women say, Please let all the men on, we're all equals!

Just watched some survivors tell their story in 1957, and another woman who was 7 at the time. The White Star made the Carpathia return the life boats first, before allowing them to go to their own birth to let the survivors & passengers off.

Interesting fact, the survivors stayed at the Jane Hotel. In 2008 they restored the hotel to the original state in 1912. It's kind of a cool place to stay when on a budget.
