Survivor of the Titanic tells his story. Imagine if you will a baker on the Titanic surviving the sinking by staying drunk..lol yes drinking saved his life. story by Tristin Hopper for the National Post. Monday April 15th 2019 marks the 107th anniversary of the sinking of the RMS Titanic, 500 km southeast of Newfoundland. This is the true account of Chief baker Charles Joughin. They were supposed to be trying to find out how the Gigantic ship has sunk but instead were grilling Charles on how he had survived the sinking because of being tipsy., said the Wreck Comissioner " I think this is how the man survived and his drinking had a lot to do with his survival" . The Baker nonchalantly has stepped off of the stern of the great ship as it slid into the depths .Then as 1500 passengers screamed and panicked .Charles calmly paddled around till dawn after which he was fished out by a life boat and back at work within a week of the sinking. It was almost a physiologically impossible feat of survival. and according to the British Titanic enquiry the 33 year old Englishman had the presence of mind to greet the history greatest disaster by getting smashed .the first rule of thumb is that a drunk person will freeze to death faster than a sober one but the rules can be wrong ..The thought of a nice smooth drink of Brandy slipping down the throat into the stomach has warming effect, flushing of the cheeks and blood rushing to the skin with a warmth only booze can create. In any survival situation having all that warm blood away from the vital organs means that the drinker has greater risk of hypothermia. .however its not always necessarily so...the -2 C temperature of the North Atlantic waters was cold enough to quickly tighten Charles blood vessels and cancel out any effects of the alcohol. The relaxing qualities of alcohol have been known to give humans the ability to survive disasters. Studies have proven that the effects of alcohol on stab and gunshot victims have more survival rates than normal sober ppl. Charles having made his way to his cabin before and even after the ship struck the iceberg downed a drink each time thus seeing him more tipsy each time than the last, even though his consumption was more than any normal person would drink in a situation like this Charles continued to help the passengers into lifeboats , threw life rings to those who jumped into the water , he also threw off items of wood like deck chairs that would float and help save a life or two. .Every now and then walk back down to his cabin and partake again .the water rose to greet him more each time yet he remained calm throughout it all. .His last time on deck seen the ship break in two he stood on the stern and rode the ship down to the water and into the shockingly cold water , Charles says the feel of the cold water was " like a thousand knives piercing the skin," cold shock ends in 90 seconds and in 10 minutes before going numb, and in an hour the heart stops. .Charles put on his life belt and seen himself paddling around and treading water , Charles became the textbook of what people should do to survive a disaster ..stayed calm and " chilled out". hares spent nearly two hours floating in the darkness , he then spotted in the dawn light an overturned life boat , he paddled over hauled himself out and was eventually hauled aboard by a passing lifeboat .when he was aboard the rescue ship RMS Carpathia he stated that " barring his feet which were badly swelled "he was fine ..Charles was back to work within a week baking for second world war Troopships .His surviving the disaster of the Titanic in such a manner gave him the title as " the drunken baker."   |
