Who says that 13 is an unlucky number? And how did you get on board as an assistant cook? Very clever work.

Apparently there were 22 crew members (cooks and stewards) in lifeboat #13. I lived to a ripe age of 87 after a career as a cook on merchant ships. I also served for four years in WWI and was awarded the Merchant Seaman Medal for my services. There is a lot more about my life here. It is interesting that Alfred died in February of 1961, about 5 months before I was born. So maybe I really am him reincarnated? https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.or...windebank.html Here is a picture of Alfred later in life holding up a "lucky" #13 sign.
