Jesuit priest and photographer Francis Browne sailed on the ill-fated ship to Queenstown, now Cobh.
An American couple offered to pay his fare on to America so he mailed his provinical asking could he travel to the US on the ship. He received a terse reply, which read: 'Get off that ship".
So he did and died in 1960.
All the pictures that would have been lost but for Fr Browne's provinical.
