The titanic,

          

       They boarded the famous and thought of unsinkable titanic on april 10 1912 with ticket number 11755 at ($39) and entered first class as they settled in to their rooms, a-16 housing Cosmo and a-20 housing Lady Duff. One weird thing about their travels was that they enlisted their tickets under the name MR&MRS. Morgan. Their time on the ship passed by in luxury (for their time) but they had no clue of the deadly night that approached. Their reason for travel was for business expansions and that work was put on delay as the sinking began Lady duffs chances for survival were extremely high as she was a first class woman but even though Sir Cosmo was first class it was supposed to be only woman and children and men were to stay out of respect to save all of them first. But he secretly asked  William Murdoch if they could aboard and then he secretly bribed many crew members with money to cover all their lost items and then boarded emergency lifeboat 1 with a total of 12 passengers at the end. He also was remembered for refusing to go back after they for far out to help save others possibly still available to save. A-pon their arrival back in new york the next year of life was crowded with illegal controversy over what he did back on the ship when the sinking started( when he bribed the crew).  He never got over what happened that very dreadful night  and later died on april 20 1931at an age of 68 and was then buried later aside his wife near London (England)
