Karl boarded the Titanic as 3rd class with his parents and siblings Mabel (9) Harald (5) Margrit (not yet 2) to emigrate back to Iron Mountain, Michigan. The family lived there earlier-in 1907 when his father worked in the mines, Karl was bringing lunch to his father and got his foot stuck in the railway, because of the injury: he had to have his leg amputated. The family emigrated back to Sweden and had a daughter Margrit on April 14, 1910. The ship struck an iceberg at the North Atlantic Ocean on April 14, 1912 at 11:45 pm then sank at 2:20 am by splitting in two. Boys Karl's age were not able to board lifeboats with other women and children as well as the men. It was hard to reach the upper decks and the boats if he had to limping around the sloping decks.
