We were unable to agree on which lifeboat the Asplund family escaped in, hence we have multiple lifeboats listed above. Boat #10? Selma Asplund interview, Svea, April 24, 1912 "The boat I came with was the last one who left that side of the steamer where we found ourselves,..." [Note: Boat #10 was the last of the aft port boats to leave the ship.] Kornelia Andrews, who was in boat #10, said that an Oriental gentleman was saved in her boat. Cleveland Plain Dealer, April 21, 1912 "At the same moment the boat reached the water came there a man - I think he was Chinese - jumped down from the top of the deck. He knocked one foot right in my face, and I would just call him to watch the girl when he beat his hand to my mouth and warned me to make a noise (which would cause her to be thrown overboard) after which he collapsed like a dog on the bottom and hid himself for the eyes of the captain." Don Lynch's summary of an Anna Hogeboom interview - Newark (Ohio) Advocate, April 20, 1912. “Anna Hogeboom [who was in boat #10] spoke of a woman who had two children with her but had left her husband and three others on the ship. I read it that she was speaking of them being in her boat.” Boat #15? Johan Sundman interview, The Salt Lake Tribune, April 28, 1912. Sundman may or may not have been in boat #15. "There were eight women, all of whom were in their night clothes. One of them, a Swedish woman, lost her two children and husband in the wreck. The husband carried all the money they possessed and she was left destitute." |
