Roth, Miss Sarah A.	Collapsible C	Collapsible C	2.89

In the Courier News, Bridgewater, New Jersey, April 23, 1912, news coverage regarding Miss Roth’s wedding, it stated that her bridesmaid was fellow survivor Emily Badman, who “had been put in the same lifeboat that took Miss Roth from the sinking ship.”   We think Emily Badman may have been in Collapsible C, though we are not sure.

Her account of the disaster, in the form of letters, went up for sale in 2000 at Sotheby’s but to date the bulk of the text has not been released. Some selections were direct quotes, which are found in the May 5, 2000 edition of The Guardian United Kingdom. It paraphrases more of the letters saying, “Sarah saw other third-class being barred by a gate from getting near the lifeboats, although she was directed towards a ladder leading to the upper boat deck where she found collapsible lifeboat C about to be lowered.”

The May 4, 2000 edition of the Globe and Mail says with her direct quotes included,
    “While a crew member helped the third class passengers with their life jackets, Ms. Roth recalled in sworn statements that he said, 'I have had orders not to let anybody come up this ladder or the steps on this deck. It is impossible for this ship to sink… I did not see any of the officers or members of the crew directing the third class passengers what to do or where to go, and no attempt was made, so far as I could see, either to show them the way to the boat deck, or to tell them that the lifeboats would be lowered at all.'  Further on the newspaper says she was first directed to second class but the boats were full and from there she struggled up a ladder and managed to board a first class boat.

Discussions centered on that a paraphrasing also notes that she and the Goldsmiths were directed up a ladder and led to Collapsible C. The following adds to the possibility they were together at points and ended up in C together. The Sothebys press release referred to a number of documents connected with a claim for compensation, including “two signed affidavits with a letter from the British Consulate General in New York, dated May 16 and September 26,1912, respectively, One of the directly quoted sections reads: “I woke up feeling that the ship had stopped. I dressed and went just outside my Cabin.
Here I had a conversation with my friend and her husband, and we waited for some considerable time when seeing some officers or stewards, I cannot tell which, pass along, and apparently in a hurry, we asked them what was the matter and they said that the ship had struck an iceberg, but added that there was no danger and nothing to be alarmed about.”

With what limited information we had, we could only give Collapsible C a low rating of confidence.
