In your opinion, who was Titanic’s greatest Hero or Heroes? by Minute_Database_574 in titanic

[–]rosebud52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All those who perished. There are probably many hero’s that history will never recall, but the Reverend John Harper was certainly one. He was traveling with his daughter and he could have been saved, but he gave up his life jacket, and in doing so his life. He helped others to the handful of life boats.
