Lady Rothes. Passengers on RMS Titanic. Photograph of Lady Rothes, who was saved from the Titanic. She is reported as 'resting at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in New York after landing from the Carpathia'. The countess of Rothes apparently showed great courage during the hours in the boars. An A.B. of the Titanic says 'There was a woman in my boat as was a woman. She was the Countess of Rothes. I was one of those who was ordered to man the boats, and my place was in No. 8 boat. There were thirty-five of us in that boat, mostly women, but some men along with them. I was in command, but I had to row and I wanted someone at the tiller. When I saw the way she was carrying herself and heard the quiet, determined was she spoke to the others, I knew she was more of a man than any we had on board, and I put her in command. I put her at the tiller, and she was at the tiller when the Carpathis came along five hours later.' Several ladies proved themselves to be efficient oarswomen. Titanic was built by Harland & Wolff in Belfast Ireland during 1910 - 1911 and later sank on April 15th 1912 off the coast of New Foundland after striking an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York, USA, with the loss of 1,522 passengers and crew.
