“

I am willing to remain and play the man's game if there are not enough boats for more than the women and children.. Tell my wife I played the game straight out and to the end. No woman shall be left aboard this ship because Ben Guggenheim is a coward.

”

— Benjamin Guggenheim   (1865 - 1912)

Final words of millionaire traveler aboard the ill-fated Titanic. As the boat began to sink Guggenheim changed into formal dress and calmly faced death.
