Mrs Rene Harris (who we are sure was in Collapsible D) said on May 10, 1912 (On Board RMS Titanic, page 320): “I left the steamer together with Mrs. Thorne to enter a collapsible boat, which was the last boat to leave the steamer. At the time we both left to enter the boat my husband was standing on the deck of the Titanic. Within a few moments after we had struck the water, and while the Titanic was in full view, I saw it sink, and my husband was on the deck.” Jane Hoyt account, Amsterdam Evening Recorder, April 23 1912: "The last collapsible lifeboat was getting in readiness to be lowered by the davits when Mr. Hoyt told me I would have to get in. I did so only after much persuasion and after we had told each other goodbye, Mrs. Henry B. Harris, Mrs. Thorn and myself were the only first class cabin women passengers in the boat." Mrs. Hoyt also mentions "the last collapsible lifeboat". We are sure Mrs. Hoyt and Mrs. Harris were in Collapsible D. |
