Joseph Laroche, father, husband, beloved son & engineer, died amidst the tragedy of the RMS Titanic on April 15th, 1912, aged only 25.



Joseph Laroche, a man who, at age 15 was sent to Beauvais, France for his education, boarded the ill-fated RMS Titanic on April 10th 1912, with his pregnant wife, Juliette, and two daughters, Simone and Louise. (born 1909 and 1910 respectively)

The family, had originally purchased First-Class tickets, but upon learning that they would not be allowed to dine with their children, (the children would have to remain in the nursery), they switched their tickets to Second-Class in order to keep their family together at all times. Ironic considering their fate.

A very good read... a interesting fact is that his story is actually more similar to the Jack/Rose story of the Titanic movie in 1997 due to the fact he stayed behind to die, while his two daughters and Wife boarded to safety.

He had coin. You can tell by his clothing, his presence in pictures etc.
and the fact that he was able to perch with a first class mess.

Blacks with money had some level of power even back then.
