Captain Turner, commander of the Lusitania, which sank with the ship and were miraculously saved; the old fisherman William Bull, who brought 140 people in his boat; Seaman Jack Roper who saved the captain. Mr. Vanderbilt, who sacrificed himself to save a woman; impresario Ch. Froman, who drowned, Mr. Julian de Avala, Consul of Cuba in Liverpool, which sank three times before being drafted.
