These are photographs from my collection of 2nd class passengers Ethel and Edward Beane. They are unique in that they are one of just two couples in 2nd class that survived intact. Ethel got into Boat No. 9 which was lowered into the water and Edward jumped into the water afterwards and swam to her lifeboat. It is believed Ethel was pregnant on the Titanic because in January 1913, she gave birth to a stillborn baby. Edward passed away in 1948, but Ethel lived for much longer and died in 1983 at the age of 93.
