That 1912 Renault Type CB Coupe de Ville that is featured in James Cameron’s 1997 Titanic film really was on the Titanic. It wasn’t just placed there so that Rose and Jack could get it on. In real-life, it was the only car listed on Titanic’s cargo manifest and there has been so much talk about this car and whether it can be found. Can it operate if it is found?
Well, the real story isn’t about that car. It’s about the couple who owned that car.
The man’s name was William E. Carter. He was from Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania and he was rich. He didn’t work hard for his money. He was born into it. And it seemed like a lot of good things came easily to him. One of those good things was his wife. Her name was Lucile. She was said to have been one of the most beautiful women in her native Baltimore - really among all of the society women of her day. And William snatched her up and was able to call Lucile his own.
She was also traveling on the Titanic with William. And so were their two children. The entire family made it safely off of the Titanic. They were all rescued. And in the immediate days following the disaster, both William and his wife were heralded as heroes in the press for the brave actions that they took after Titanic hit the iceberg.
And if that was the entire truth about their story, I wouldn’t be talking about it here. Because that’s boring. That’s just history. But this is Hot Mess History - where we dig into the dirty side of history. The stuff that they typically don’t put in people’s obituaries.
Today, we’re going to take a look at the story of a Titanic family who traveled first class. They had a lot of money, but were led by someone who didn’t seem to have a lot of morals.
This is the story of the wealthy and well-connected William E. Carter and the lovely Lucile and the real truth about what happened to them on the Titanic and after the Titanic.
This is a story that proves that having it all, isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be - and that even though we get the story straight from the horse’s mouth…that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s the truth.
You'll hear a firsthand account of one couple’s hours of heroic actions - a story that was printed and read all over the world…that turned out to be only partially true.
