Charles Joghin was relaxing while the Titanic was sinking. 🚢 There are many Titanic stories… but you probably haven’t heard this one. Meet Charles Joghin — the chief baker on the Titanic. He loved two things: making bread and drinking wine. And he put both to good use the night the world’s most famous ship hit an iceberg. That evening, Charles was relaxing in his private cabin as usual — sipping from a flask and testing out the moonshine distillate he’d made (the benefits of having no yeast limit). When a deep, ominous crunching sound came from the starboard side of the ship. Unperturbed, he picked up his flask and headed up to the deck — just as he heard Captain Smith order the lifeboats to be prepared. 🍞 What did Charles do next? He assembled his team of bakers and personally organized the distribution of bread to the lifeboats — because calories save lives in the cold sea. Then he returned to his cabin… and drank some more whiskey. When lifeboat #10, the one he was supposed to board, was ready — he offered his seat to another crewman and stayed put — sober and slightly tipsy. Finally, when all the lifeboats had been launched, Charles stood alone on the ship, throwing deck chairs into the ocean one by one — to serve as flotation devices for those in the water. And yes, he kept drinking. 🧊 When the stern of the Titanic lifted up, Charles quietly crossed the railing… And the ship sank beneath him — without pulling him out. He swam for two hours in the icy Atlantic Ocean — his hair dry and his mind perfectly balanced. When he was rescued, Second Officer Lightoller — who was sure Charles would be dead by now — was surprised to see him alive. Charles believed that alcohol had prevented his blood from clotting and his consciousness from slipping away. He survived. He saved others. And he survived the biggest maritime tragedy in history. 💬 After that? He went back to the sea again. He kept making bread. He kept drinking. He survived two more ship accidents. And he lived till the age of 78. Today, it is written on his grave: "The Baker of the Titanic". 🥃🛳 A man who raised the cup of life — when the ocean was about to swallow him.
