1912 Frederick Fleet, 24, the lookout who first spotted the iceberg. He went on to serve in both World Wars. In 1965, he experienced depression and later hanged himself. IMAGE: HARRIS AND EWING/LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
As the few survivors were picked up, friends and family on shore clamored for news…
I am always taken by how smart everyone looked in 1912.
As for Frederick, surviving the disaster, then having to go through two wars, small wonder he was depressed!
Best wishes, Pete.
