yp i am back after 3 months away

any way to the question

i have read sum where that during the sinking the Italian waiters were locked in there state rooms and therefore went down with the ship and i am wondering whenever this is true or not :hammer:

I'm afraid it's not true (although I believe Dan Butler mistakenly made that claim in his book "Unsinkable.")

Stewards temporarily prevented the restaurant staff (and a number of steerage passengers) from passing through a barrier and proceeding to the upper decks, but that's a far cry from locking those men in their cabins.

God question! I wonder if this is true and have never got even a halfway definite answer. I would like to think that it didn't happen, but given the prejudices of the era, it wouldn't surprise me if it did.

Hello, Lights.

Nice to see you again!

I'm afraid it didn't happen. This legend was created by Dan Butler and was caused by that author's less-than-careful reading of Paul Mauge's testimony.

I hope you've been well since we last spoke together, Lights.

All my best,

Yes, that is totally false.
