This letter is handwritten, and it is by a survivor of the Titanic. Lady Lucy Duff Gordon.(16)She wrote this letter on May 27, 1912. She is writing to her very good friend that lives in New York, and she begins the letter by saying "thank you so much for your care, your concern, because of the disaster that just happened. " She goes on to talk about her husband Cosmo.(17)Lady Lucy Duff Gordon was a very important fashion designer at the time. This was definitely a couple that had a lot of money. And they ended up in Life Boat No. 1 , and that’s where the controversy begins.
Lady Lucy Duff Gordon says in the letter that she and her husband Cosmo were the only ones that were asked to testify before the British Wreck Commissioners inquiry. She also says that after that. the tabloids went rampant, saying that it was her husband that commandeered the life boat and the person that was rowing to say, " Row even faster. Don’t put any more survivors on board. "
Now, here are the facts.(18)That life boat could hold 40 survivors, the fact of why there were only 12 survivors in that life boat, and not 40, has never been corroborated, but Lady Lucy Duff Gordon in this letter to her friend in 1912, says that her husband never got over the rumors, that it affected him for the rest of his life.
