Los Angeles Times of April 21, 1912, Jessie Leitch interview: �Our boat was well manned and it was the eleventh to leave the vessel.� In Walter Lord�s papers is a transcript of Miss Leitch�s obituary, which stated, �The lifeboat was swung away from the side of the liner and was lowered into the water at 1.30am.� This launch time is consistent with boat 11. In the Dumfries and Galloway Standard and Advertiser of April 13, 1977, Nan Harper Pont stated, �I can remember now that it was the eleventh lifeboat to leave the ship.� Given how young she was in 1912, this is thought to have been something she was told later. Miss Leitch and her niece, Annie (Nan) Harper, were given a vote of 4.07 for boat 11 as there was no evidence indicating any other boat. |
