Titanic Survivor | Frank Prentice: "I thought I was going to die"

Frank Winnold Prentice (February 17, 1889 - May 30, 1982) was a storekeeper on the RMS Titanic. He survived the sinking by swimming to Lifeboat 4 and being pulled in by its occupants.

Prentice remained active at sea, working on the Titanic's sister ship RMS Olympic, and also working on ships during World War 1.

In his later life Prentice gave many interviews for television (here in 1979), newspapers and magazines. In 1982 he appeared in a documentary called 'Titanic: A Question of Murder.'

He was the second-to-last member of the crew to pass away, being survived only by Sidney Edward Daniels.

Descendants and volunteers are working to save Titanic Memorial Lighthouse, the world's first memorial to the 1,496 victims. Join the conversation at:
