Died on the Titanic
Richard White finished his coursework at Bowdoin College in February of 1912, several months before graduation. To mark the occasion, his father arranged a celebratory excursion abroad to Europe. After landing in Southampton, England, they would remain for eleven days. The return trip was scheduled so they would return stateside in mid-April, home in plenty of time for Richard to march with his friends at Bowdoin's commencement.
Richard and Percival White made the Atlantic crossing aboard the RMS Olympic, a White Star Line luxury ocean liner. They were returning on the maiden voyage of the Titanic in April when it struck an iceberg and sank. Richard and his father died at sea.
