It appears that you were a bit of a liar, though. Your sister in law somehow got the story that you were rescued like Rose Dawson, floating on a piece of wood, but it was documented that you were on Lifeboat 15.

And in an even bigger jerk move, you gave speeches later in life about how you survived by swimming to Collapsible Lifeboat A. However, that was done by another rescued Swede named Carl Jansson, and you stole his story.
(On that note, what are the odds of two rescued people being named Carl Jonsson and Carl Jansson?)
