    Notes 
    • Note provided by Russ Varcoe:

      The parents of Mary Elizabeth Collins decided to send her to the U.S. so she could have a better life to live with her mother's sister, Rachel Costello, who was the housekeeper for the parish priest at Ste Luce parish in Frenchville, Maine. She was originally scheduled to come aboard the Titanic but she was so upset at leaving home and going so far away that she was booked on the Laconia which arrived later in Boston. An uncle who worked for the railroad out of Chatham, New York met her on her arrival and put her on a train bound for Northern Maine.
