The family was British by nationality. They boarded Lusitania as 1st class. A survivor reported during the voyage they were the loudest family on board. Alberta with her younger sister Catherine would pull pranks on the passengers. The family was not in panic when they heard the torpedo nor the second explosion. Alberta calmly asked a man to help her adjust her life vest.
