  • New Zealand's Connection with the Titanic
    WERE THERE ANY NEW ZEALAND CONNECTIONS WITH THE TITANIC? Officially, there were no New Zealanders on the RMS Titanic the night it struck an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean on April 14th 1912. One had a lucky escape - Christchurch businessman James Arthur Frostick, of Skelton, Frostick & Co, boot manufacturers, had booked for the Titanic’s maiden voyage. He had been on an extended tour abroad but because of business engagements, had had to cancel the voyage. It seems he did not tell his relatives and friends who feared he was on board. On the Wednesday, however, there came a reassuring telegram from Mr Frostick himself in London, stating that he had found it necessary to wait for another boat, and, so it was said, “he missed the tragedy”1. In fact, there were several interesting New Zealand connections to two passengers on the Titanic, one of whom survived and one of whom drowned. The one who survived was Charles Williams. It is important to note that there were two Charles Williams on board the Titanic – Charles Duane Williams, who was a lawyer in Geneva, Switzerland and a first class passenger, drowned when he was crushed by the Titanic’s funnel as it sank. The other was Charles Eugene Williams, travelling in second class. Charles Eugene Williams was the rackets coach at Harrow School and British rackets champion who had defeated J. Jamsetji of Bombay in London for the world championship in 1911. Rackets, sometimes called hard rackets, is a sport not to be confused with tennis or squash. It was originally played outdoors in the 18th century in the two main debtors’ prisons in England, the Kings Bench and Fleet, by gentlemen seeking to amuse themselves until they could pay off their creditors.
