Henry Adams of Tenby, England was a London merchant. He married an Canadian-American, Annie Elizabeth "Lizzie" McNutt, born in Liverpool, Queen's County, Nova Scotia 1868, and they lived in Regent's Park, London. As of 1 May 1915, Henry and Annie had just been married for four weeks. Henry had been reluctant to travel on the Lusitania but was convinced to do so by his wife, a "confirmed Cunarder."
During the voyage, Henry insisted moving the lifebelts from the top of their wardrobe to under their berths. That way the lifebelts would be more accessible should there be any need for them.
After the torpedo struck, Henry seemed "incapable of action" (Preston, 216). Annie guided Henry around and after official word came around that everything was going to be all right, a relieved Annie sat down in a collapsible boat with Henry where they waited for further instructions. Not long afterward, they saw "a great wave come over the bow" and the two were separated.
The Tuesday, 11 May 1915 survivors list says they both survived, but the list is in error. Henry did not survive the sinking, although Annie did. Mr. Henry Adams, per the Cunard Confidentiality Report, was body #237.
