Framed Print of Fraulein Bocker, the only woman saved from the "Elbe" Disaster, 1895. Creator: Russell & Sons
Fräulein Anna Bocker, the only woman saved from the "Elbe" Disaster, 1895. Photographed in the costume in which she was shipwrecked, by Russell and Sons, Baker Street...Fräulein Bocker is but nineteen years old, and wears her honours very modestly...In a chat with our photographer, she said that...she heard a crash. She at once left her cabin and went on deck...and realised...the danger the ship was in. She again went below, for next to her cabin was an invalid lady, whom she assisted to dress...She returned to deck as well as she could in the rush, taking her dressing-gown with her. Standing by her was a gentleman, almost without clothing, shivering with cold, to whom she gave her dressing-gown. She was one of those who got into the first boat that was put off, and which capsized. After extricating herself she clung to the upturned boat till the second one was lowered. Seeing there was yet another chance, she swam towards it, but on reaching the boat the sailors tried to prevent her from being taken in. Then one of her fellow-passengers said, "No; it is a woman, and we will have her in, " and assisted to get her into the boat. During those five dreadful hours which followed she tried to encourage those with her with cheering words'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
