Light told her on the port side he allowed no men into the boats. There were men standing by the boat and they refused to enter. And they died, of course. On the starboard side, First Officer William Murdoch allowed anybody into the boats. And actually, afterwards, over 80% of all the surviving male passengers, they had their lives, thanks to William Murdoch.

Because they did not have enough lifeboats, they got the orchestra on the ship to stand up and play songs, marches. When women and children were put into the boats, this was shark-infested waters, and therefore very, very few of the men survived.

I met his son and we talked about it. It was very interesting. Steward Hart was ordered into boat 15 by First Officer Murdoch. Hart knew that there were still hundreds of people down on the deck who hadn't had a chance to get up yet. He knew that. And he knew how many people were on deck but had no chance to get into a boat. He knew that. And with his memories, he had to live the rest of his life.

This whole area imploded, broke away, disappeared. It was a mess afterwards. Nothing was left. It's like you had taken Harrods in London and broken it in half and spread everything. Spread out over the ocean bottom.

They'd never seen anything as large as this. There were two immigrants from South Sweden, Neda and Edvard Lindbl. They were third-class immigrants. And she wrote back to her brother saying, you can't imagine what a monster it is, what a beast it is. She uses that Swedish word best, which is beast in English.

A ticket to America was very, very expensive. An ordinary third-class ticket from Scandinavia was around £8, which is 181 kroner. An ordinary working-class family paid for their flat in 1913 throughout the whole year, 179 kroner. So £8 is more or less what a flat cost throughout the whole year. And then you can compare with Helen Baxter who had this suite for which she paid 247 pounds.
