Awaiting Survivors
Mass communication was not a thing in the early 1910s. The only way these people were able to find out if their loved ones survived or not was to wait around and find out at the dock.
The Stewardess Who Survived
Violet Jessop was a stewardess on the Titanic. Previously, she was on the RMS Olympic when it collided with a British warship in 1911. Four years after the Titanic sank, she survived the sinking of another ship, the Britannic. She went down in history as "The Unsinkable."
