Willard, Miss Constance Beatrice ? ? 1.00

 


There are a number of accounts for Miss Willard, but none of them give enough detail to allow us to make a determination. 
One of the most detailed still is not specific enough.

 The Duluth News Tribune of May 9, 1912, relates:
    “There were only 15 people in the boat I was in and of these there was only one other first-class passenger. The others were 5 sailors and the balance steerage passengers.

    “I felt a determination not to die, and hurriedly dressed, taking a number of trinkets, jewelry, money, my overcoat and furs. When I got on deck all appeared to be confusion. They were loading the boats with women. I got to one of them and they insisted on lifting me into it, but I objected. Later when I tried to get into one they were not so anxious to put me in. I finally did get into the fourth from the last to leave the ship."

The statement "they were loading the boats with women" could indicate a port boat.  It was about the twelfth to leave, which could indicate #12.  However, we know #12 had far more than 15 people in it.  Although her interview said “15” for her boat, it could have been a mistake on the reporter’s part and was actually “50.”

We concluded we had no credible choices, so we had to go with unknown lifeboat.
