He fancied that, not only had he learned from them, but that they, also, had learned from him. Finally, it was the day of Titanic's departure from Southampton. Henry arrived at the dock alone. Why Howard was not with him to board the ill-fated liner or how Howard's steamer trunk came to be in Henry's possession aboard the ship has not yet been confirmed. Three different scenarios exist to explain Howard's absence and those scenarios are being researched.
History tells the rest of the story.
Henry met his untimely death aboard the ship that couldn't be sunk, leaving Howard's possessions to rest at the bottom of the ocean for 81 years. Henry's father was appointed by the courts as Administrator of Henry's estate after his death. OSNC had placed a large sum of money in escrow, pending settlement of claims against it resulting from the Titanic disaster. Five hundred dollars of that escrow was devoted to Henry Sutehall, Jr. Henry's body was never recovered.
