About the Author
Samuel L. Goldenberg, Titanic Survivor, Dies Lace Importer Thrown Into Lifeboat By Ismay PARIS, Oct. 12 (AP). - Samuel L. Goldenberg, of New York, who survived the sinking of the liner Titanic, died here yesterday. He was seventy-three years old and had been a resident of France for many years. Not Listed As Survivor Mr. Goldenberg, a director of Goldenberg Brothers, lace importers of 1400 Broadway, was not listed among the survivors of the White Star liner Titanic which struck an iceberg on the night of April 14 and 15, 1912, with a loss of 1.517 lives, including Colonel John Jacob Astor, Major Archie Butt, Francis Millet and Mr. and Mrs. Straus. Only when the Carpathia brought in the rescued was it learned that Mr. Goldenberg had survived. His carry-all, or canvas bag, was the only piece of luggage saved. Mr. Goldenberg, according to his wife, Mrs. Edwiga Grabowsko-Goldenberg, who died November 30, 1935, in Paris, and who was also on the Titanic (sic), was saved by being thrown into a lifeboat by J. Bruce Ismay, then head of the International Mercantile Marine Company. Mr. Goldenberg, she said, had bid her farewell on deck and had chosen to stay behind when Mr. Ismay and one of the crew seized him and threw him over the side as an empty lifeboat was lowered.He managed to catch the boat ropes and was pulled into it. The reason Mr. Goldenberg was listed among the missing was that he gave their names to the wireless operator of the Carpathia not as Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Goldenberg but Samuel Goldenberg and Nella Goldenberg. The names were transmitted as Mrs Samuel Goldenberg and Ella Goldenberg. Mr. Goldenberg had a villa at Nice. He was a dog fancier and was president of the Canine d'Savoie. Mr Samuel L. Goldenberg was in New York City on 8 September 1864. Samuel Goldenberg and his wife Nella (née Wiggins) lived in Riverdale-on-Hudson, New York, they moved to Paris in 1905. They were well known as dog fanciers, with their kennel name being "Nellcote". In April 1912 the couple were travelling from Berlin, Germany to New York City. They boarded the Titanic at Cherbourg as first class passengers (Ticket No. 17453, £89, 2s 1d), they occupied cabin C-92. Mr and Mrs Goldenberg were rescued in lifeboat 5. Nella and Sam Goldenberg divorced in France. He remained in France the rest of his life. His second wife, Edwiga, died in France in 1935. When Sam died on 11 October 1936 he left his estate to nieces and nephews in the United States.
