那场灾难发生六个月后,梅布尔•弗兰卡特利于纽约广场酒店通讯室写给所罗门的一封信,被拍出7500美元。弗兰卡特利跟随她的雇主、贵族时尚设计师露西•达夫-戈登及她的苏格兰籍丈夫,斯莫达夫-戈登勋爵,登上救生艇一号。传言达夫-戈登曾贿赂船员,让船员开着可容40人的救生艇,送他们到安全的地方。
The Duff-Gordons, the only passengers to testify about the disaster, were cleared by the British Wreck Commissioner's inquiry, which determined that they did not deter the crew from attempting to rescue other people but that others might have been saved if the boat had turned around.
达夫-戈登夫妇是唯一需要为那场灾难出庭作证的乘客,后来经过英国船难委员会的审讯,被宣告无罪。委员会裁定,在救生艇回头可以救援更多人的情况下,达夫-戈登夫妇并没有阻止船员尝试施救。
"We do hope you have now quite recovered from the terrible experience," Francatelli wrote to Salomon. "I am afraid our nerves are still bad, as we had such trouble & anxiety added to our already awful experience by the very unjust inquiry when we arrived in London."
“我非常希望你现在能从那段可怕的经历中恢复过来。富兰恩德尔在给所罗门的信中写道:“恐怕我们的精神状态依然很差,由于我们在到达伦敦时所受的不公正调查,在我们可怕的经历外,又增加了麻烦和焦虑。
