Alden Caldwell
Alden Gates Caldwell (June 10, 1911 – December 18, 1992) was a survivor of the RMS Titanic, at only ten months.
Early life
He was born on June 10, 1911 in Bangkok, Siam, to Albert and Sylvia Mae Caldwell, who were Presbyterian missionaries in the country before Caldwell was born. The couple decided to return to America, and on the journey home, they passed through Naples, Italy and learned that a steamship called the Titanic would soon go on its inaugural voyage from Southampton to New York City.
Aboard the Titanic
The family boarded the ship as second-class passengers. The ship crashed into an iceberg on April 15, 1912, and the family was one of the fortunate minorities of survivors of the RMS Titanic. The young "babby" (who was Caldwell himself) had been sent to lifeboat 13, and they have been rescued by the RMS Carpathia.
