The Japanese passenger who survived the Titanic but faced unbearable shaming at home

@MikeR

there’s none that he dressed as a woman to leave the ship (a myth that keeps reappearing with different male survivors)

Including Masabumi Hosono.

@boingboing

Inaccurate reports claimed he had disguised himself as a woman or stowed away illicitly on the lifeboat.
