What was the name of the Titanic's baker who survived by drinking whiskey?

The Titanic’s baker who survived the sinking was Charles Joughin.

Joughin was Titanic’s chief baker and supervised a staff of thirteen bakers. After the collision on 14 April 1912, he helped send bread to the lifeboats and assisted passengers before making his way toward the stern as the ship sank.

He later testified that he drank alcohol, including a tumbler of liqueur, before entering the freezing water. Popular retellings often call this whiskey, but the historical record does not establish that whiskey specifically saved him. Alcohol can actually worsen heat loss, so the idea that it protected him is a misconception.

Joughin claimed that he remained in the water for roughly two hours before reaching the overturned Collapsible B. Historians regard parts of that account as uncertain, but his survival and role as Titanic’s chief baker are well documented. He was rescued and lived until 1956.
