50 Images From The Titanic You Have To See To Believe

A First-class Passenger Stayed Back to save Her Dog

A lot of stories emerged about the events that surrounded the Titanic disaster, but few are as remarkable as Anne Elizabeth Isham’s. Isham was a first-class passenger on the ship, and one of the few that brought their dogs with them on the ship’s maiden voyage.

When the ship began to sink and passengers began to scramble on the lifeboats, Isham tried to get on one with her dog, a great dane, but they wouldn’t let her because the dog was too big. Apparently, she had a deep bond with the canine because rather than save herself, she opted to stay behind on the ship with her dog.
