Engineers Made the Ultimate Sacrifice
As a result of their decision to remain below decks and keep the power going in order to allow others to escape for as long as possible rather than attempting to evacuate ship, each and every one of the Titanic’s engineers perished in the sinking. In 1914, Southampton was the location where a memorial was constructed in honor of the courageous engineers who worked on the Titanic.
A Tragic Headline
It was incorrectly reported in the very first newspaper articles about the disaster that occurred on the Titanic that there were no deaths that took place and that there were no survivors. The fact that it took a few days before the truth was exposed was disappointing to say the least.
