Edith.

This was taken the day of the storm it was taken from the crows nest you can notice that the boat has some tip on it you can see those roaps over the side they are fastened onto the life boats there were boats enough for 3000 men we had 2500 on board.. Our quarters were just below the near end of the boat The two funnels are as big two silos they stick up about 40 ft above deck Earl.
