Did John Jacob Astor survive the trip on the Titanic?

Answer 1

No. John Jacob Astor was the wealthiest passenger on board the Titanic and, as well as his wife Madeleine Astor, his party included his servant, his wife's maid and nurse, and his pet Airedale, Kitty. At 11:40 p.m. on April 14, 1912 the Titanic hit an iceberg and began sinking. At first Astor did not believe the ship was in any serious danger, but later he helped his wife into a lifeboat. He asked if he could join her, mentioning her "delicate condition" (she was five months pregnant at the time), but the officer in charge told him not until all the women and children were away. Astor reportedly stood back and asked for the lifeboat number, then, after lighting a cigarette, he tossed his gloves to Madeleine. She survived.

John Jacob Astor IV's body was recovered by the steamer Mackay-Bennett on April 22 not far from the sinking. It was determined that he was killed by a funnel which had fallen, as his body was crushed beyond recognition and covered in soot. He was identified by a monogrammed handkerchief.

Colonel John Jacob Astor unfortunately did not survive the Titanic, however his wife made it onto a life-boat. Along with his wife, Madeleine, on the life-boat was her maid and nurse. "J. J." Astor smoked with a friend, Jaques Futrelle, on the starboard bridge wing [this was where he was last seen] until the ship finally sank.
