Early the following morning, the lifeboats were picked up by their rescue ship, the Carpathia, which had been racing to the scene all night since they had gotten an S.O.S. wireless plea from the Titanic to come the night before. They had been around 50-miles away at the time.

Titanic artifacts reveal gruesome discovery of tragic ship's last lifeboat ~

By James Rogers Published April 19, 2016 FoxNews.com

Photos and a handwritten note detailing the grisly discovery of Titanic’s last lifeboat will be auctioned in the U.K. later this week.

The three photos were taken on May 13, 1912, almost a month after Titanic’s sinking, and show crewmembers from RMS Oceanic attempting to recover one of the doomed liner’s lifeboats. Inside the lifeboat, thought to be the last to leave the sinking ship, were the decomposing bodies of three Titanic passengers.

One photo shows a boat from Oceanic being lowered, another shows the boat approaching the drifting lifeboat. A third picture shows Oceanic crewmembers on the Titanic lifeboat.

Titanic struck an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. ship's time on April 14 1912 and sank just over two hours later with the loss of more than 1,500 lives.

A handwritten account of the lifeboat recovery by an unidentified Oceanic passenger describes the gruesome discovery of three corpses. One corpse was wearing a dinner jacket and the bodies of two Titanic firemen were wedged under the lifeboat’s seats, it explained, adding that one corpse’s arms came off in the hands of the Oceanic’s boarding officer. A woman’s ring was also found on the lifeboat, according to the note.

“It’s an incredibly graphic account of the recovery,” Henry Aldridge & Son auctioneer Andrew Aldridge told FoxNews.com. “Titanic was ‘the ship of dreams’ but this is the ship of nightmares – it’s the horrific elements of what happens in a disaster.”

A number of Titanic passengers made it to the lifeboat, known as ‘Collapsible A’ when it washed off the ship’s deck, partly submerged, but not all survived. The bodies found by Oceanic were left on the lifeboat when Collapsible A’s survivors were picked by another lifeboat.

The corpse in the dinner jacket was identified as Titanic first class passenger Thomson Beattie. The wedding ring belonged to Swedish passenger Elin Gerda Lindell, who briefly reached Collapsible A, but later drowned, according to Encyclopedia Titanica. Her husband Edvard Bengtsson Lindell held Elin’s ring before he died on Collapsible A. His body was never recovered.

The photos and handwritten note are among a host of Titanic artifacts that will be sold at auction in Devizes, U.K. on April 23. The lot containing the photos, note and an Oceanic log abstract has a pre-sale estimate of between $2,879 and $4,318.

Other Titanic memorabilia up for auction include a rare ticket stub from the liner’s launch in Belfast 1911 and a photo of the drawing office where the ship was designed, showing a model of the ship. Both lots have pre-sale estimates of $8,636 to $14,393. The first letter written onboard the Titanic, penned just hours before the ship embarked on its doomed maiden voyage, will also be sold.

Last year a cup presented by Titanic survivor Molly Brown to the captain of rescue ship Carpathia sold for $200,000 in a major auction of Titanic memorabilia held by Henry Aldridge & Son. A photo purportedly showing the iceberg that sank the Titanic also sold for $32,000 in the auction.

This account penned by a passenger on board RMS Oceanic reveals the decomposed state the bodies were in when recovered.

Edvard and Gerta Lindell ~

Labourer Edvard Bengtsson Lindell, and his wife, Elin Gerda, 30, had decided to relocate to the US from their home in Helsingborg, Sweden.

The couple travelled to Southampton, securing their immigration papers less than a week before the Titanic set sail.

Records show they were due to continue their journey from New York to Hartford, Connecticut, where they are understood to have had a connection.

Mr and Mrs Lindell boarded the Titanic as third class passengers, paying some £15 11s each for their tickets.

After the liner collided with the iceberg on April 14, 1912, the couple met up with two fellow Swedes and together they struggled up the sloping deck.

However it became too steep to climb and, holding hands, the friends slid down towards lifeboat 'Collapsible A' on the starboard side.

Mr Lindell, 36, and August Wennerström managed to climb into the boat - but Mrs Lindell was not so lucky. Mr Wennerström tried to haul her on to the boat but was weakened by the cold and eventually had to let go.

He described how the heartbreak of losing his wife caused Mr Lindell's hair turned grey in less than 30 minutes. Mr Lindell died soon afterwards, clutching his wife's wedding ring as he took his last breaths.

Neither of the Lindells' bodies were ever discovered, although it is believed his body was buried at sea to lighten the load. Mrs Lindell's wedding ring, which was engraved, 'Edward to Gerda', was found at the bottom of the boat by the crew of RMS Oceanic.

The ring was returned to White Star Line who eventually returned it to Gerda's father, Nils. The ring is now stored in a safety deposit box in Sweden, but is taken out for exhibitions around the world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thomas Beattie ~

The body of first class passenger Thomson Beattie, 37, left, who was dressed in his dinner jacket was among the three found on board the lifeboat.

In January 1912, Thomson Beattie, 36, escaped the freezing winter of his native Canada for the milder French climate.

The wealthy bachelor was not due to travel on the Titanic but changed his plans when one of his travelling companions fell ill on their trip.

After making the journey across the Channel, the group snapped up their tickets on the vessel's maiden journey across the Atlantic. Mr. Beattie paid £75 4s 10d to join some of the world's most successful businessmen in the 1st class cabin of the Titanic.

Days before he set sail, Mr. Beattie wrote to his mother: 'We are changing ships and coming home in a new, unsinkable boat.'

He was one of roughly 30 people who clambered on board lifeboat 'Collapsible A', securing one of the last places.

However he later died of exposure alongside two firemen from the Titanic's engine room.

In a heart-wrenching coincidence, Mr. Beattie was buried at sea on his mother's birthday after his body was discovered by the RMS Oceanic.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FINAL HOPE: WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE ON BOARD COLLAPSIBLE A ~

Titanic First Officer Murdoch and Sixth Officer Moody were trying to attach to the boat to ropes so that it could be lowered into the sea when the deck became partially-submerged.

The crew abandoned the task but the boat washed off the ship, offering a final option to desperate survivors struggling in the freezing water.

Accounts of how many people climbed into the boat place the number at somewhere between 12 and 20.

What is known is that over the course of the night, many passengers fell ill or died. It is believed that the bodies, including Edvard Lindell, were lowered into the sea to lighten the load of the unstable boat.

The survivors - believed to be around 12 or 13 people, including one woman - were picked up the following morning by Collapsible D before being rescued by RMS Carpathia.

Meanwhile Collapsible A was allowed to drift away with the bodies of the two firemen and Thomas Beattie on board.

Believed to have been among those who perished overnight is Edvard Lindell, whose wife, Gerda, drowned while trying to reach the lifeboat.

Mr. Lindell was clutching her wedding ring when he later died from exposure.

The handwritten account describes how the corpses were unrecognizable, adding the one was so badly decomposed that its arms came off when lifted by crew members. The bodies were wrapped in canvass and buried at sea.

The remarkable records, which have been held by a private collector for the last 20 years, will go under the hammer at Henry Aldridge and Son Auction House of Devizes, Wiltshire, on Saturday.

Auctioneer Andrew Aldridge, said: 'These are three first generation photographs of the recovery of Titanic's last lifeboat. Accompanying them is a very graphic handwritten description by a passenger of the condition of those on board and the recovery operation.

Sadly it is not known who the Oceanic passenger was who wrote the description which states: "I crossed the Atlantic one month after the Titanic catastrophe.

"We picked up one of the lifeboats with two unrecognizable corpses of a passenger in evening dress and two firemen.

"The arms came off in the hands of the Oceanic boarding officer. The bodies were buried and a prayer service read. The lifeboat then hauled on to our deck".'

This Woman Survived The Sinking Of The Titanic — And Its Two Sister Ships ~

By Katie Serena

Published September 15, 2017

Updated December 20, 2017

After surviving all three disasters, Violet Jessop would become known as "Miss Unsinkable."

From the moment Violet Jessop was born, it was clear that she was a survivor. Of her parents nine children, only six of them survived infancy, Violet being the first. When she was a child, she contracted tuberculosis and though doctors predicted her illness would be fatal, she survived it.

So it should come as no shock that she also survived the most famous ocean disaster of all time, the sinking of the RMS Titanic. What might be a surprise is that she also survived the collisions and sinking’s of the Titanic’s two sister ships, the RMS Olympic and the HMHS Brittanic.

The early 1900’s were a bad time for the White Star Line, but apparently not for Violet Jessop.

In 1910, after working as a stewardess with the Royal Mail Line for two years, Jessop took a job aboard the RMS Olympic. The Olympic was a luxury ship, the largest civilian liner of its time. In the fall of 1911, the Olympic left its port in Southampton and collided with a British warship, the HMS Hawke.

There were no fatalities, and despite damage sustained by the impact, the ship made it back to port without sinking.

After experiencing the almost-sinking of the Olympic, one would think Jessop would be turned off to transatlantic sea travel. However, just seven months later she was back at work with the White Star Line, this time on what they claimed was their most unsinkable ship.

Jessop boarded the RMS Titanic as a stewardess four days before its famous run-in with the iceberg. In her memoirs, she mentions that she was ordered up on deck to serve as an example of how to behave for the non-English speakers who couldn’t understand the instructions being given to them.

“I was ordered up on deck,” she wrote. “Calmly, passengers strolled about. I stood at the bulkhead with the other stewardesses, watching the women cling to their husbands before being put into the boats with their children. Some time after, a ship’s officer ordered us into the boat (16) first to show some women it was safe.”

She watched as the lifeboats were loaded, and made it onto one herself. After spending one night in a lifeboat, Jessop and her fellow survivors were rescued by the RMS Carpathia.

Yet again, despite witnessing the tragedy of the Titanic and spending the night in a freezing lifeboat, Violet Jessop continued to serve as a stewardess.

In 1916, during World War I, the White Star Line converted some of their ships into hospitals. One of these converted ships was the HMHS Britannic, upon which Jessop was serving as a stewardess for the British Red Cross.

On the morning of November 21st, the Britannic sank in the Aegean Sea, due to a mysterious explosion. To this day, scientists have yet to reach a definitive conclusion as to what caused the blast, though British authorities believed that it was either struck by a torpedo or hit a mine planted by German forces.

She described watching the scene from her lifeboat in her memoirs.

“The white pride of the ocean’s medical world … dipped her head a little, then a little lower and still lower,” she recalled. “All the deck machinery fell into the sea like a child’s toys. Then she took a fearful plunge, her stern rearing hundreds of feet into the air until with a final roar, she disappeared into the depths.”

The Britannic sank in 57 minutes, killing 30 people and nearly taking Jessop’s life as well. As the ship sank, the propellers were still spinning and began sucking lifeboats under them. Jessop jumped out of her lifeboat to safety but received a traumatic head injury in the process.

“I lept into the water but was sucked under the ship’s keel which struck my head,” she wrote, describing the incident in her memoirs. “I escaped, but years later when I went to my doctor because of a lot of headaches, he discovered I had once sustained a fracture of the skull!”

After surviving one near-sinking and two actual sinking’s, many expected Violet Jessop to retire from her life at sea. However, after a brief hiatus, she returned to work for the White Star Line in 1920 and later the Red Star Line.

During the rest of her sea-faring career, Violet Jessop would complete two around-the-world cruises and have a short-lived marriage before retiring to Great Ashfield in Suffolk, where she passed away at the ripe old age of 83.

A fur worn by stewardess Mabel Bennett, who wore the heavy coat as she boarded a lifeboat, sells for £150,000.

By Telegraph Reporters, 22 APRIL 2017 • 4:44PM

A fur coat worn by a first class stewardess on the Titanic during her rescue has sold at auction for £150,000.

Mabel Bennett was in her nightdress when the liner began to sink after hitting an ice berg on her maiden voyage in 1912 with the loss of more than 1,500 passengers and crew.

But she put on the beaver lamb fur coat she owned to keep her warm as she boarded lifeboat No 5.

Mrs Bennett, who was 33 at the time, died aged 96 in 1974 and was the longest living female member of the crew.

She passed the coat to her great niece in the 1960s as she found it too heavy to wear.

The fur coat and letter of provenance went under the hammer on Saturday at an auction at Henry Aldridge and Son in Devizes, Wiltshire.

The auctioneers said: "This stunning coat is unique in that not only was it a personal possession of a Titanic crew member that was worn….but, to our knowledge, represents the only piece of exceptionally well provenance clothing from Titanic to ever come to auction.”

The coat had been on display in America after it was sold by her family in 1999.

The full length coat was bought by a bidder in the room – and sold for a lot more than the estimate of £50,000 to £80,000.

The auctioneer said the coat had a ‘lovely, lovely history’ and said it brought a family back together after they had broken up as a result of the disaster.

A fur coat which helped keep a Titanic survivor warm in the aftermath of the disaster has been unearthed 105 years later.

In 1900, the Eastman Kodak Company came out with the handheld box camera known as the “Brownie.” An immediate hit, more than 100,000 were sold in its first year. Canadian Bernice "Bernie" Palmer received a Kodak Brownie box camera, either for Christmas 1911 or for her birthday on January 10th, 1912.

In early April, Bernie and her mother boarded the Cunard liner Carpathia in New York, for a Mediterranean cruise. Carpathia had scarcely cleared New York, when it received a distress call from the White Star liner Titanic on 14 April. It raced to the scene of the sinking and managed to rescue over 700 survivors from the icy North Atlantic. With her new camera, Bernice took pictures of the iceberg that sliced open the Titanic’s hull below the waterline and also took snapshots of some of the Titanic survivors.

Lacking enough food to feed both the paying passengers and Titanic survivors, the Carpathia turned around and headed back to New York to land the survivors. The captain of the Titanic's rescue ship Carpathia imposed a news blackout on all communications from his ship until all of the Titanic survivors had disembarked from his ship in New York. The demand for stories was unparalleled, and journalists swarmed Carpathia looking for firsthand accounts of the shipwreck and rescue.

An unnamed newsman for Underwood & Underwood, a New York photography agency, scored one of the most valuable scoops when he met Bernice Palmer onboard the Carpathia. She had taken pictures not only of the Titanic survivors on Carpathia's deck; she also had photos of the actual iceberg that sank Titanic. The newsman offered to develop, print and return the pictures to Bernie, along with $10.00. Not realizing the extraordinary value of her photos, Bernie readily agreed, and Underwood and Underwood obtained unique images of the Titanic shipwreck for a pittance. This is the contract between Bernie and the U&U newsman transferring rights to the pictures. In 1986, Bernie gave her camera, Titanic photographs, and other associated materials to the Smithsonian.
