All the Ship’s Engineers Perished
Unfortunately, just like the ship’s orchestra crew, all the engineers on the Titanic perished with the ship; they all stayed back so the ship’s power would keep running for as long as possible. They achieved what they stayed back for, however, even though the ship’s lights remained on and the pumps kept running, the engineers went under as a result of their selfless sacrifice.
The radio was also kept running by them, enabling distress signals to be sent out until it sank. All 25 engineers on board are remembered as heroes as they died in the sinking, something that may not be highlighted enough when looking at this tragedy.
