These Images From The Titanic Were Kept Hidden, Until Now

Titanic Survivors at Millbay Docks

Two weeks after the sinking, some of the survivors, who were all crew, were taken to Plymouth. 86 crew members had to stay overnight and slept in passenger waiting rooms, while the 20 stewardesses were put in a nearby hotel.

The survivors were sent to Southampton on a special train. Captain Stoker was on duty at the time of the collision in the bowels of the ship. “I was on the eight to twelve o’clock watch…there would be 83 men on that watch. Eight of us out of the 83 are here. The rest of the 83 were drowned.”—-Captain Stoker.
