Timeline Article: 5th Officer Lowe Prepares to Go Back

5th Officer Lowe
Twenty minutes after Titanic went down, 5th Officer Lowe prepares to go back to help the people struggling in the water...


"We tied all our boats together so as to form a large object on the water, which would be seen quicker than a single boat by a passing vessel. We divided the passengers of our boat amongst the other four, and then taking one man from each boat so as to make a crew, we rowed away amongst the wreckage, as we heard cries for help in that direction."

-Seaman Joseph Scarrott
