Douglas’ presence on the Titanic is immortalized in one of the more famous images taken onboard the ship. Frank Brown, an Irish Jesuit priest, tagged along for the first leg of the Titanic’s

maiden voyage, snapping a number of photos before disembarking at the ship’s last European stop in what is now Cork, Ireland. In one photo, Brown captures Douglas playing with his top on

the top decks. Unbeknownst to all in the photo, within days that very section of deck would be scene of a brutal fight for some of the ship’s last remaining lifeboat seats.
