Hi, I'm Jo, and this is my blog

Sidney Leslie Goodwin (9 September 1910 – 15 April 1912) was a 19-month-old English boy who died during the sinking of the RMS Titanic along with his parents Frederick and Augusta and siblings Lillian, 16; Charles, 14; William, 11; Jessie, 10; Harold, 9. His unidentified body was recovered after the sinking, and for decades referred to as the unknown child; the body was identified as that of Goodwin in 2007. He is the only member of his family whose body has been recovered and subsequently identified.

The sailors aboard the Mackay-Bennett, who were very upset by the discovery of the unknown boy’s body, paid for a monument and he was buried on 4 May 1912 with a copper pendant placed in his coffin by recovery sailors that read “Our Babe.” Before 2002 (when he was first, though mistakenly, identified through DNA testing) he was known simply as “The Unknown Child”.

    So sad that the entire family died. But at least they are all together
