Orphans
Michel, left, was just four years old and his brother Edmond Navratil, on the right, was only two years old. These French boys were called the “Titanic orphans.” Tragically, their father passed away on the ship, but the brothers made it to New York without parents. Actually, they stayed in New York for a month until their mother in France, who hadn’t boarded the Titanic, saw them in a newspaper photograph. So, she came to claim the boys. However, this picture was taken before anyone identified them.
