Nice work on the disguise. You made it, even as a third class passenger.

And I hate to say it, but the whole sinking is kind of your fault: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_P...eless_officer)

Okay, we're back and sinking again, which is bad news for you.

Born in Roden, Hesse, Germany on May 26, 1880, I was looking to make a fresh start in America. Unmarried and with few good prospects, I thought a relocation to the New World would serve me well. While not bad looking, I knew the intensity of my stare would sometimes dismay the damsels.

I had asked my older brother Carl to join me, but he was well-settled, and had no interest in going. While we knew when we parted we might never see each other again, certainly we never imagined just how final the parting was.

A baker, I knew that I could ply my trade anywhere in the world so long as an oven was available, and I knew that enclaves in New York City of Germans might help the assimilation. Or, I had heard, parts of the western US were less developed and some had concentrations of Germans.

I emigrated to England as step one of the journey. I lived at 26 St Kilda's Road (NOT St. Kildas), in a section of London commonly known as Harrow-on-the-Hill, which is near the famed Wembley Stadium. Part of a block of row houses so common in London, it still stands today.

I boarded in Southampton as a second class passenger, paying a fare of 13 pounds. I had scrimped and saved for years to come up with this fare, as well as a small pool of additional funds to start my new life. With me were all my worldly possessions -- or at least what little I could pack into a steamer trunk.

As a second class passenger, I enjoyed amenities that were not at all bad. The Titanic had three classes of passenger. Most of the poor immigrants were third class passengers, who paid 7 pounds. As a second class passenger, however, I was mostly with middle class tourists, as compared to the elite first class passengers -- who paid from 30 to 870 pounds for their right to ride Charon's boat.

There appears to be some confusion about the spelling of your name. And in a move that stinks, you were supposed to go transatlantic earlier on a different ship, but the salespeople talked you into waiting for the brand new Titanic.

Well, the bad news is that you died. But the good news is that you didn't have to clean the bathrooms after that.

You also managed to pass along your genes, since you were married and had a daughter back home. So that's a win.
