Titanic survivor Hosono's memoirs to go on display in Yokohama ? Japan Today: Japan News and Discussion


"The personal memoirs belonging to Masabumi Hosono, the sole Japanese survivor of the Titanic which sunk in 1912, will be on display at the Yokohama Minato Museum for a special exhibition beginning April 19."

"After surviving the Titanic sinking, he returned home where he was vilified by the Japanese public, press and government for his decision to save himself rather than go down with the ship. He died broke and in obscurity in 1939."
