It is very, very confusing. There were eight musicians, and they are wrongly today called the Orchestra of the Titanic. But there was a trio, and there was a quintet. And they only played together when the ship was sinking.

Vera Dick and her husband survived in one of the starboard boats, and she said that she saw these musicians, and she said that they were gallant, fantastic, and they played Near My God to Thee. Now, Vera Dick's boat was about half a kilometer and a kilometer away from the sinking ship.

I think the sinking of Titanic put the people on collapse will be in an impossible situation. I mean, we talk nowadays about things like PTSD, but most survivors never spoke about those sort of unspeakable decisions that had to be made.
