![]() These stories and others have been overlooked or ignored by American and British historians and enthusiasts who have written about the Titanic. In fact he was Thomson Beattie of Winnipeg. Some books insist the Titanic's last victim, found in a lifeboat a month after the disaster, was from New Jersey others say he was from Chicago. Hustak discloses the scandalous behaviour of second class passenger Joseph Fynney and tells of the young honeymooners Bert and Vera Dick of Calgary who started an enduring legend about the disaster. This is the untold saga of the 130 passengers aboard the ill-fated luxury liner who were bound for Canada.Īuthor Alan Hustak's chronicles are more poignant than fiction, such as the tale of Quigg Baxter, the young Montreal hockey player who risked all to smuggle his Belgian fiancée aboard, the Fortune family from Winnipeg which failed to heed a clairvoyant's warning and Harry Markland Molson, the richest Canadian aboard who was persuaded by Toronto millionaire Arthur Peuchen to extend his stay in England and sail home with him on the Titanic.
