Mrs.
JAMES RICHARDSON (ANNIE), Second Cabin Passenger
[No Picture Provided]
Annie Richardson, 39, was one of the pregnant mothers aboard the Lusitania's
last voyage. Her cabin was E-114 and she shared a room with someone
whom she described as being Scotch (Chrissie
Aitken?).
The torpedo struck the Lusitania as Annie was packing her belongings.
She ran up the stairs and saw people exiting the dining room and begin her
ascent to A Deck. She went to the portside, but the boats swung inwards.
She then followed the order that she should go to the starboard side.
She slipped on the deck, but was not hurt. A man helped her up and over
to lifeboat #13, in which she escaped.
In Queenstown, she met up with her roommate.
