Francis Davis Millet
Millet was smoking and playing cards in a gentleman’s lounge on the Titanic when he heard commotion outside the room about 20 minutes after the accident.
The East Bridgewater native rushed into the hallway and a passenger told him the ship had struck an iceberg.
Millet, 65, an internationally celebrated painter traveling first class with Major Archibald Butt, military aide to President William Howard Taft, found a warmer jacket and overcoat in his cabin and then went back onto the deck.
A passenger who survived the sinking recalled seeing Millet, Butt and John Jacob Astor IV, the richest passenger aboard the ship, helping people onto lifeboats.
