I m here because of what Bobby did for me. Bobby gave a great gift to me and I shall forever be grateful he gave me his lifejacket and he has given me sixty–five years of life which he didn t have. John Baker, child survivor, of his brother Bobby
There was nothing for us to do except hang on to this rope. So we were facing each other on the side of the lifeboat with this rope between us. And we never let go of that rope in all the time that followed which turned out to be nineteen hours in all we knew if we did let go, that would be the end of us. The waves were terrible. We were being thrown one way and then dragged back again. Then there would be a huge wave coming right over us. You couldn t see and you would be coughing and spluttering next thing you were up in the air and back again We were just two schoolgirls fighting the north Atlantic There is nothing more lonely than being in mid–Atlantic on a boat upside down Nothing alive except us three. Beth and Bess, child survivors
It was terrible, you had to fight every minute. My hands were being cut in shreds with these horrible rusty tin canisters. But I was holding on, even though I was only eleven and quite slight, I kept fighting, every minute of fifteen hours in that awful sea and I know that s why I m alive today. Sonia Bechs, child survivor
He kept diving again and again and bringing back children. And then he dived and we didn t see him again. Colin Ryder Richardson, child survivor, of Laszlo Raskai, Hungarian journalist and passenger aboard the Benares
Purvis was one of the crew and he d been diving in the water over and over again trying to save as many as he could until he was completely exhausted. Fred Steels, child survivor
I never knew her name, but I was trying to prop her up out of the water. But she became less and less conscious and I found it more and more difficult to hold her head up. Then somebody just said, that lady s dead, let her go . Colin Ryder Richardson
