People: First Class: Mr. Benjamin Guggenheim


Born
1866

Died
April 15, 1912

Mr. Benjamin Guggenheim boarded the Titanic at age 46 with his valet, chauffer and mistress. He held ticket number 17593 and occupied room B-84.

After the collision, Guggenheim's steward had to struggle to get him into the lifevest. After going up to the boat deck, Guggenhim returned to his stateroom and changed into his evening wear and suggested his valet do the same.

A survivor reported that he overheard Guggienheim tell a fellow passenger that they were dressed in their best and prepared to go down as gentleman. He also took a moment to write a note, "if anything should happen to me, tell my wife I've done my best in doing my duty."

Guggeheim and his valet were lost in the sinking. His body was never recovered.
