Prologue:

 On the night of April fourteenth, 1912 the HMS Titanic which was on its maiden voyage, sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. There were 2,200 people on the boat when it was launched, and 1,500 people were still on the boat when it split in two and sank into the frigid ocean.

Many of the people that were left behind were third class, or members of the crew, as the boats were stocked with first class women and children first. As the night progressed many rich men bought their way into the lifeboats, afraid of death.

Most of the crew as well as the passengers had no idea what was really going on, and thinking that it was only a drill, didn’t fill the lifeboats, dooming more people to death.

This is the story of just two of the people on the Titanic on that maiden voyage, and what happened to them.
