Mrs. Wilkinson was booked on Titanic as Mrs Faunthorpe. From Don Lynch's article "Winnie's Boat" in Commutator #235, Edwina says: “In my boat,” she said, “there were 20 women, not less than a dozen babies, and five members of the crew in charge of Master-at-Arms Bailey. One of these women was Mrs. Harry Faunthorpe, a bride. She was an Englishwoman who had been married in January. With her husband she was making a pleasure trip to California." Don states in the article that "for decades Winnie had claimed she was saved in lifeboat 13, and I knew this not to be true." Don's article examines many accounts Winnie left, and tries to explain the inconsistencies between them. Don concludes that her statement that “Our boat was the last to leave the ship" was likely correct, and that she probably did leave in Collapsible D. A number of her accounts mention "Mrs Faunthorpe" in her boat and therefore she had to be in Winnie's boat, Collapsible D, too. However, since we do not have any accounts directly from Wilkinson / Faunthorpe herself, we were not absolutely certain of her boat. |
