Frank Browne was a trainee priest aboard the ill-fated Titanic. Browne, famous for photographing some of the ship's passengers, was given a ticket for the first leg of the voyage. He liked it so much he wanted to stay aboard, and actually had been offered free tickets for the extended trip. However, when he telegrammed his superior to ask for permission to continue to New York, he was ordered to disembark at Queenstown as initially agreed. Consequently, his poignant photographs were saved for posterity, as was he.
