    Eugene Rice traveled on the Titanic with his mother and 4 older brothers. After the collison and during the time when women and children boarded the lifeboats, crewmen gave orders that husbands and older sons couldn't board. Margaret Rice refused to be parted from either of her sons. The family was last seen clinging to the stern when the Titanic was sinking. Eugene's body was never recovered. He was also mistaken as the unknown child.
