Maud Sincock was a 20-year-old English woman traveling to America on the Titanic. Due to a coal strike, she boarded the Titanic in second class with a friend and her sons. In the early morning of April 15th, 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg and began sinking. Maud was thrown into a lifeboat wearing just her nightgown and boots. She was rescued by the Carpathia and survived the sinking. After arriving in America, she eventually settled in Hancock, Michigan where she married and had two daughters.

6. • On April 9, 1912, Maud left St. Ives, Cornwall,
England, to travel to Southhampton to board a
passenger ship for America.
• Because of a coal strike, the ship Maud was to
board had no coal. The White Star Line wanted
it’s newest ship Titanic to sail so all the Line’s
other ships had to give their coal to Titanic.
• Maud traveled with a friend of her mothers - Mrs.
Agnes Davies and her two sons. Maud shared a
room with Mrs. Davies and her youngest son.
• White Star wanted a full passenger list for
Titanic’s maiden voyage so they gave Maud a
Second-class ticket

27. Titanic’s location when it struck the
iceberg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic#Departure_and_westbound_journey

28. This is believed to be the
iceberg that sank the Titanic.
The photograph was taken
from the deck of the Western
Union Cable Ship, Mackay
Bennett, commanded by
Captain DeCarteret. The
Mackay Bennett was one of
the first ships to reach the
scene of the Titanic disaster.
According to Captain
DeCarteret, this was the only
berg at the scene of the
sinking when he arrived. It
was assumed, therefore, that
was responsible for the
tragedy.

items that were on the dresser
in Maud and Agnes’ room and
put them in one of his pockets.
• The items were found on his
body and given to his mother
Agnes.
• Agnes recognized one of the
watches as Maud’s and
returned the watch to Maud.
• It has been in the family’s
possession ever since.

54. • Special thanks to Carol Schwab for all the time
and effort she has spent researching and
sharing my grandmother's story. She has given
many wonderful presentations on my
grandmother. She has also put together a tribute
scrapbook for family members.
• The account that I was told by my aunts and
uncles was that grandmother was the last
person off on her side of the boat. That the
people in the boat threatened to throw any one
else in the water who was put in the boat. My
grandmother being small was "thrown" in the
boat by the captain. None of the recorded
accounts tell the story like this. Each account
tells the story a slightly different way.
