Man a lifeboat
會劃船的男人

The lifeboats needed men to do the rowing; if there was not an available member of the crew, a male passenger was required to do their duty. Accusations of cowardice still applied. Major Peuchen, a Canadian passenger who volunteered himself to man a boat because he was an experienced yachtsman, was afterwards maligned. One taunt that circulated about Peuchen was that, "he said he was a yachtsman so he could get off the Titanic, and if there had been a fire, he would have said he was a fireman."
救生船上需要男人來劃船，如果沒有船員在現場的話，男乘客就可以擔起這一重任。當然，這樣做也會被人說成是懦夫的行為。一位加拿大的陸軍少校Peuchen就自稱對劃船經驗豐富，自告奮勇地要求去劃船。之后，他的這一做法也遭到了指責。有一則嘲諷他的說法是，“他想要離開泰坦尼克號所以才說自己會劃船。如果現在是著火了，他就會說自己是消防員了。”
