Mount Vernon – Peter Daly was a first class passenger on the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic. He remembers when the ship struck the iceberg and that the band played until the very end. According to his later accents Daly remained on deck as long as possible. As he helped a female passenger over the side he was washed off the deck by a wave that rolled along the boat deck. He then swam in the water before being picked up by a collapsible boat and taken to New York aboard the RMS Carpathia.
