The Titanic hit the iceberg about 20 minutes before midnight on 14th April 1912, and it went under a litle later, early in the morning of 15th April. A man who was the Chief Baker on board the Titanic, with 13 men working for him, his name was Charles John Joughin. He himself was born in Birkenhead of a Manx family, and when he was a boy, he learned the baking trade in the shop of his relative, John Joughin MHK, in Michael Street, Peel.

In the film A Night to Remember, they made Charles John Joughin appear to be a drunkard, but, though he said he took a swig of strong drink, he helped to put women and children in boats (even if they weren't willing to go in them!) and threw chairs in the sea to help people float. When the Titanic went under, he was in the water for four hours - in water as cold as that, people are dead after five minutes, for the most part! And if they've taken alcohol, they lose heat ever quicker than that.
