Ah. As a trimmer, Mr. Gosling was earning 5.5 pounds per month. Coal handling paid notably more than being a steward.
Still died, though. https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.or...s-gosling.html Name Gosling, Mr. Bertram James Outcome Dead - Body Not Recovered Gender Male Age 22 Home Southampton, Hampshire, England Embarkation Southampton Destination Unknown Passenger Class Unknown Crew Department Engineering Crew Crew Job Trimmer

You were an engineer in Finland, and decided to visit your cousin in America. But it was a fateful decision, and you would not survive the journey.
His second-class ticket cost 13 pounds, or 4 times the monthly salary of the stewards. https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.or...collander.html Name Collander, Mr. Erik Gustaf Outcome Dead - Body Not Recovered Gender Male Age 27 Home Helsinki, Finland, Russian Empire Embarkation Southampton Destination Ashtabula, Ohio, US Passenger Class 2nd Class Crew Department Unknown Crew Job Unknown

You survived, but it was probably more your parents' doing than yours.
You were on the ship with your dad, mom, and your two-month old sister, and you were immigrating from London to ... wait for it ... wait for it ... Wichita, Kansas. (They were going so the father could co-own a tobacco store with a relative.) Interestingly, you weren't supposed to be on the Titanic, but had to transfer from another ship due to that pesky coal strike. I remember another of our passengers had the same bad luck. Bertram survived along with his wife and sister, but his father didn't make it. After landing in New York, they eventually retreated back to London. Bertram ended up working for a shipbuilder and liked talking about the Titanic, though I'm not sure that he'd have a great story to tell. His little sister Milvina was the last Titanic survivor to pass away, in 2009. https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.or...vere-dean.html Name Dean, Master Bertram Vere Outcome Survived, Lifeboat 10 Gender Male Age 1 Home Bartley Farm, Hampshire, England Embarkation Southampton Destination Wichita, Kansas, US Passenger Class 3rd Class Crew Department Unknown Crew Job Unknown

Which ship recovered infant Corvus Lestrange? His sister, Leta, swapped him for infant Aurelius Dumbledore before the Titanic went down.

The good news is that you survived. The Swedes seemed to have a knack for survival. But you only survived the sinking. You had an interesting story. You, your wife, and another couple that you were friends with were on the ship as it was about to go down. The stern was rising and you were climbing to the top when it got too steep. You slid back down, and ended up in the water. As the ship went down, you ended up near Collapsible Lifeboat A. You and the other guy climbed aboard, and you tried to pull the other guy's wife aboard, but couldn't do it. You lost your wife in the water. Unfortunately, after being in the water, you were chilled, and you died of exposure in the barely floating life raft. To lighten the ship, your body was released overboard. But as you died, you dropped your wedding ring into the bottom of the boat. It was found after the rescue, and is a frequent display item today. A lot of these stories are sad.

You would have been really popular if you had packed it.

I like your optimism.
Oh, hey! You're dead, but you're an interesting story. You were part of the guarantee crew. These were the guys who were traveling specifically on the maiden voyage to fix things that were "first-time shakout" things. They were not part of the crew, but they were employees of the White Star Line, so they're listed as both crew and passengers. You were apparently a very strong electrician, which led to you being selected for this crew despite your young age. (Note: other sources list you as being 18.) Unfortunately, your brilliance did not allow you to survive the Titanic Incident. https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.or...gs-watson.html Name Watson, Mr. Ennis Hastings Outcome Dead - Body Not Recovered Gender Male Age 15 Home Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK Embarkation Belfast Destination New York City Passenger Class 2nd Class Crew Department Guarantee Crew Crew Job Electrician's Apprentice

I can't die on the Titanic - I'm still circling Germany on a B-17.
