Titanic Collapsible Boat B

Collapsible Boat B was a lifeboat from the steamship Titanic. It was one of the last boats launched to sea, over two and a half hours after the liner collided with an iceberg and began sinking on 14 April 1912. Collapsible B could not be successfully launched, and it was washed off deck and upside down when the Titanic made her final plunge at 2:15 a.m. It carried mostly men, including Second Officer Charles Lightoller, who took command of the boat until being picked by others who came to their rescue.
Description
[edit]Collapsible Boat B was located on the port side of the ship and was one of the four "collapsible" Engelhardt lifeboats. They were boat-shaped unsinkable rafts made of kapok and cork, with heavy canvas sides that were raised to form a boat. These "collapsible" boats measured 27 ft 5 in (8.36 m) long and 8 ft (2.4 m) wide by 3 ft (0.91 m) deep. Their capacities were of 376.6 cubic feet (10.66 m3) and each could carry 47 people.[1] Inspired in a Danish design,[2] they were built by McAlister & Son of Dumbarton, Scotland.[3] Their equipment was similar to that of the cutters, but they had no mast or sail, had eight oars apiece and were steered using a steering oar rather than a rudder.[4]
All four Collapsible Boats were launched between 2:00 and 2:15 a.m., with only one from each side of the ship getting safely to sea. Collapsible Boat C (starboard) was launched at 2:00 a.m. with about 43 people on board, including J. Bruce Ismay.[5] Captain Smith ordered quartermaster George Rowe to board and take command of the raft.[6] Collapsible Boat D (port) was also successful in its launching at 2:05 a.m., carrying about 20 people, and under the command of quartermaster Arthur Bright.[7][8]
The other Collapsible Boat (Boat A) was washed away like Collapsible B, but without anyone taking charge. It had around 14 survivors when assisted by other lifeboats, including Rhoda Mary Abbott and R. Norris Williams.[9]
History
[edit]Collapsible Boat B was located on the roof of the officers' quarters. At around 2:00 a.m., Lightoller and other crew members tried to take it down by using a makeshift ramp with oars, but the improvised ramp broke, and the boat landed upside-down on the ship's flooding deck.[10] Lightoller and other seamen, as well as stewards and even passengers, attempted to right the collapsible, but they were unable to do that due to the Titanic beginning her final plunge at around 2:15 a.m.[9] By that time, Lightoller decided to jump into the water and swam towards Collapsible B, discarding his heavy Webley Revolver, which impeded him from swimming properly.[11] He was nearly killed when a funnel fell and crushed many of those in the water.[12] The subsequent wave washed off Collapsible B to sea and further away from the sinking ship.[13] At least 12 men were clinging to its ropes, including Lightoller,[14] junior wireless operator Harold Bride,[15][16] American colonel Archibald Gracie IV,[17] and chef Charles Joughin.[18] Bride was briefly trapped beneath the boat before being able to emerge and stand onboard.[16] Approximately 30 men managed to get on the upside-down raft, with Lightoller taking command and instructing them how to balance the weight to avoid buckling and sinking the collapsible.[11][14]
The men aboard endured hours in the freezing temperatures, often reciting the Lord's Prayer,[17][16] until around 4:30 a.m., when one of the occupants (possibly Gracie) called to Lightoller and pointed to the horizon, where they saw that some lifeboats were near. Lightoller took a whistle from his pocket and attracted the attention of two of these boats (boat #4 and boat #12).[19] Mess steward Cecil Fitzpatrick also used his whistle to call at the lifeboats nearby.[20] Around 28 men were subsequently rescued by these boats, with Lightoller taking 16 of them into boat #12 and lifeboat #4 taking other 11 occupants of Collapsible B, which was left adrift in the ocean.[19] At least 27 of them were alive when the Carpathia rescued them on the morning of 15 April.[9][n 1] On 20 April 1912, the CS Mackay-Bennett, which had been sent to the sinking area to recover bodies, spotted Collapsible B still floating. It was seen again on 16 May by the Paul Paix.[22]
Occupants
[edit]The full list of survivors who were on board Collapsible B is not known, and some of those who reached the boat died from exposure to the cold during the night. This is a list of known passengers and crew who were saved by the upside-down Collapsible B, accredited by Colonel Gracie, who was aboard.[23] The rest of passengers have been individually referenced in their respective cells.
The Titanic had three classes (First, Second, and Third), aside from the crew. No second-class passenger boarded Boat B.

Later life of Boat B occupants
[edit]Crew members
[edit]Second Officer Charles Lightoller was the most senior crew member to survive the sinking of the Titanic. Lightoller was a main witness during the American and British inquiries into the disaster and was known as a strict enforcer of the rule "women and children first", which Lightoller interpreted at times as "women and children only", with Canadian major Arthur Godfrey Peuchen being the only adult male passenger that he permitted to board a boat. Peuchen was required to assist in the oars of Lifeboat No. 6.[61] Lightoller was decorated for his service in World War I and further distinguished himself in World War II, when he commanded the Sundowner yacht during the Dunkirk evacuation.[62] Lightoller died in London in 1952.[63]
Wireless junior officer Harold Bride was severely injured by the frost, but upon rescue by the Carpathia, Bride helped Harold Cottam, the ship's telegraphist, to deliver messages from surviving passengers. Bride later developed a friendly relationship with Cottam. He testified at the US Senate Inquiry and the British Investigation into the sinking, and later served in World War I. Bride died in Glasgow in 1956.[26][21]
Third-Class steward Sidney Edward "Sid" Daniels served in World War I, where he was severely injured. He went on to become the last surviving crew member at the time of his death in May 1983.[29][30]
Steward Cecil Fitzpatrick, who used a whistle to draw attention to Collapsible B from boats nearby, gave it to Lillian Bentham, an American Second-Class passenger on board lifeboat #12, who heard the sound and alerted those in charge of #12. Bentham subsequently took personal care of Fitzpatrick when he was brought aboard lifeboat #12.[20]
Fireman Walter Hurst acquainted himself and corresponded with American author Walter Lord, collaborating with information for Lord's book A Night to Remember.[64] Hurst also appeared on BBC Television in 1956, where he was interviewed by presenter Peter West.[65] He died aged 76 in Harefield, Southampton in May 1969.[37]
Chief baker Charles Joughin became famous for drinking whisky prior to jumping to the sea.[66] Similar to Fireman Walter Hurst, Joughin was actively involved with Walter Lord in the writing of A Night to Remember. He became a naturalized US citizen and died in New Jersey in 1956.[39][67]
Many of the rest of the crewmen who were rescued aboard Collapsible B served in World War I too, with one of them, first-class saloon steward Thomas Whiteley also serving in World War II for the Royal Air Force.[60] He died at the Italian front in October 1944.[60] Trimmer Jimmy McGann and cook Isaac Maynard were among the last persons to see Captain Smith alive.[44][45] McGann discredited the theory of Captain Smith's suicide,[46] saying that Smith jumped to the sea before the ship's final plunge. Four of his grandnephews became professional actors in the UK: Joe (born 1958), Paul (born 1959), Mark (bron 1961), and Stephen (born 1963).[17][47]
Shortly before his death, Greaser George Prangnell saw and strongly disliked the 1953 movie Titanic, calling it an "eyewash".[51]
Kitchen worker John Collins befriended British-Canadian steward Emma Bliss and Canadian Second-Class passengers Elizabeth Mellenger and her daughter Violet Madeleine. Collins arranged a meeting with them in Toronto in April 1939, and died two years later at a mental hospital in Belfast, after a short battle against syphilis.[27][68]
Passengers
[edit]American Colonel Archibald Gracie IV was strongly impacted by the consequences of the sinking of the Titanic.[34] He was among the first persons to write a book about the disaster, and was one of the first survivors to die aged 54 in December 1912.[34]
Another prominent First-Class passenger on board Collapsible B was 17-year-old Jack Thayer, who wrote a book about the Titanic in the 1940s. Thayer served in the Meuse-Argonne front for the U.S. Army during World War I.[69] He subsequently graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and worked in the business world until his death. Thayer committed suicide in September 1945 in Philadelphia, after struggling with depression due to his son's death in the Pacific War of World War II in 1943 and the death of his own mother Marian in 1944.[70][69]
Among the Third-Class passengers on board, Irishman Eugene Daly said that an officer shot and killed two men, before killing himself.[28] Another was Edward Arthur Dorking, a UK-born artist who later served in World War I and World War II for the U.S. Army. He was an openly gay man and died in a California prison in 1954.[32] Two other Third-Class passengers —Patrick O'Keffee and Victor Sunderland— later settled in the United States and Canada, respectively.[49] O'Keffee died in New York City in December 1939, at the age of 49.[49] Sunderland lived the rest of his life in Toronto, Canada. He disputed the 1958 film A Night to Remember, as well as many of the facts stated by Lord in his account of the tragedy. Sunderland wrote his testimony of that night.[58] He died in August 1973.[57]
In popular culture
[edit]Collapsible B is featured in the 1953 film A Night to Remember and in the 1996 miniseries Titanic.[71] In the 1997 James Cameron film Titanic, Collapsible B is seen when Lightoller (Jonny Phillips) orders to take it down from the roof the officers' quarters. The scene shows it sliding down the oars and breaking them, subsequently smashing onto deck.[72] In the same film, Charles Joughin (Liam Tuohy) is shown drinking whisky while on the ship's stern, during the final plunge of the Titanic. He is shown alongside the fictional characters of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.[73]
Bernard Fox, a Welsh actor who portrayed Gracie in the 1997 blockbuster, had previously featured as lookout Fleet in the 1953 movie A Night to Remember.[74][75][76]

Mother and son were reunited on the Carpathia.[19] Jack later praised the crewmen on board Collapsible B, while another First-Class survivor on Boat B —Algernon Barkworth—, was impressed by Thayer's behavior, describing him in an interview as a "clear-cut chap."[19]
