At around 12.30 a.m. a small group of prominent first class passengers loitered by the windows of the enclosed promenade on the port side of A-deck. They were waiting for boat 4 (capacity 65 persons) to be lowered to A-deck. Second Officer Lightoller was concerned that passengers would have difficulty boarding the boats from the boat deck. The boat was lowered to A-deck but none had opened the windows. After about half an hour chief second steward George Dodd directed the passengers up to the boat deck via the crew only forward stairway, Lightoller had decided that the boats could be safely loaded from the boat deck after all. Again they waited while the other boats were launched. Finally Lightoller emmbered them and with the windows on A-deck now open directed them down again. The ship's list to port meant the boat swung away from the ship and it had to hauled in with boat hooks. Then, using deck-chairs as steps the passengers finally boareded the boat. It was lowered at around 1.55 a.m. with 29 or 30 people in it. Lightoller had lowered the boat with too few crew to man it, only one man, Storekeeper Foley, had been placed aboard. Quartermaster Perkis and Able Bodied Seaman McCarthy were sent down the falls to join the boat. Perkis assumed command and had the boat rowed to the aft gangway doors, where Lightoller told him to go to pick up more passengers, but the doors never opened. While waiting at the gangway Greasers Ranger and Scott Slid down the falls of lifeboat 16, which hung near boat 4 in the water. Ranger dropped into boat 4 safely, Scott lost his grip and fell into the water but was pulled into the boat. Perkis gave up on the gangways and ordered the boat to be pulled away from the ship.


Information about the passengers and crew given here may not be accurate as there was a lot of kiosk on the Titanic and the survivors on the Carpathia were in shock. Names of passengers who may not have been on the lifeboats is clearly marked as "Possibly". Information on the remaining boats will be available shortly.
