My realative on Titanic
According to all available information and indirect evidence, my great-great-great-grandfather Stanislav Jan Englert, who worked there as a waiter, was also on the Titanic. I write "circumstantial evidence" on purpose, because he was not officially listed on the list of passengers or passengers, as was his friend Karel Stanke. Englert originally served as a train steward in a second-class dining car on the Bohumín-Vienna line, he allegedly got to work on the largest ocean liner of his time thanks to a letter sent to him by his brother from Hamburg. "Come at once," Englert read tremblingly. “Good waiters wanted for British, Spanish, French and American ships. It's an excellent opportunity", quotes Englert's brother. "It was a big moment when we first raised the Titanic's anchors", I quote Englert as saying. "It wasn't the first ship I worked on, but no other ship could match the Titanic."
