Faces of the Titanic: John Horgan lost at sea but remains a total mystery man

Called the "Quiet Man" as no family reported him missing or tried to claim compensation for his death


Three cemeteries in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada — including Fairview Lawn Cemetery — are the final resting places for 150 victims of the Titanic disaster.

The Mansion House relief fund does not list John Horgan among its Irish cases in a March 1913 report, but mentions a claimant mother of the surname Landers. It may be that Horgan sold to O’Brien, who in turn sold to Landers, but the case is mysterious. Daniel Landers of Castletown Conyers, County Limerick, is a likely candidate – most of his siblings had preceded him to New York.
