It’s 1979 and Assistant Purser on the TITANIC - Frank Prentice - describes how he managed to cheat death whilst 1,500 poor souls didn’t.

1. Fascinating account. And he still has nightmares about the experience.

Thanks!

2. the milw paper had the story of a 3rd class survivor who jumped in the water. had to get in the

water twice. lived to be an old man. his legs were bluish.

3. He died at age 93 in 1982 so he was 90 at time of this interview if it was 1979

Only one other Titanic crew member outlived him

4. Not surprising that he continued to...

...dream about it. I hope he did not suffer unduly from survivor's guilt.
