Final Photo
In this photo, we see Captain Edward J. Smith on the right and Purser Hugh Walter McElroy on the left standing on the Titanic’s deck as it traveled from Southampton, England to Queenstown, Ireland. Thus, it was only a day into the trip and three days before the ship would sink. Tragically, both Captain Smith and McElroy perished in the sinking. However, the photographer, Rev. F.M. Browne got off the ship in Queenstown. It was one of the last photos of the Captain.
