Archiebald Gracie, who in his account of the sinking of the Titanic deals with the various people in the lifeboats. Sadly ill health affected Colonel Gracie and his book seems very incomplete at times, with only a few passengers mentioned for some boats. There is a lack of information as to which boats passengers from steerage were saved in. In fact Gracie hardly mentions steerage passengers at all! Unfortunately many discrepancies have been found amongst all my sources, where in doubt I have left it out! Regarding launch times of the boats, there are many discrepancies with the accepted times as given in 1912. I have included the 1912 times. George Behe published a short paper on the launching times of the boats and readers may consult this list for further information. If anybody has a complete list of lifeboat occupants I would be glad to update this file. Surprisingly more is known about the occupants of the starboard boats than the boats on the port side. As can be seen from the list, there are a fair amount of men in these boats, the reason being that on the starboard side, first officer Murdoch allowed men into the boats while on the port side, a strict "women and children" applied to those boats which were launched by second officer Lightoller. Launch times and capacity are per the British Enquiry.
