It is a remarkable overview of events that night; the Countess finds herself in Lifeboat No.8 working with Able Seaman Thomas Jones to save as many passengers as possible.
Ignoring class boundaries and gender, they worked together to navigate the small life craft for more than seven hours, among towering icebergs in the North Atlantic Ocean.
