My Great Uncle by marriage was on this ship when it sank. He was treated at the hospital in Ireland. I remember my Great Aunt showing me some post cards she received from him from Ireland. He died around 1950 and she died in 1975. He is correctly listed in the passenger list as from Farrsville, Texas but he should be Charles R. Polly instead of Charles R. Pelly.
