50 Images From The Titanic You Have To See To Believe

The Whiskey Survivor

Among the lucky few survivors of the Titanic was the ship’s chief baker, Charles Joughin, who has become known as the whiskey survivor of the Titanic. According to reports, right after the ship collided with the iceberg, Joughin told the other bakers to send the ship’s food supplies to the lifeboats while they still could.

He himself began to help passengers get on the lifeboats but he didn’t look to get on one himself. Joughin instead went back to his cabin to drink some whiskey before plunging into the freezing water below. He was in the water for about 2 hours before finding a lifeboat.
