Solemnity and celebration as ship arrives

Witness accounts told how Catherine Jane Wallis got to the railings of the Titanic before she turned back in a scramble to grab her forgotten passport.

Mrs Wallis, a mother to four children in Southampton, had lost her husband in a drowning incident in late 1911. She was 35 and employed on the iconic vessel as a part of the food service crew.

She died along with 1,516 other passengers on the night of Apr 15, 1912.
