Like booze Baker saved from the Titanic, and many passengers of the sunken liner

Drunk man does not always right. What can I say — sometimes even illogical. Usually this creates problems for him and others, but not always. Love the Baker of the Titanic Charles Jupina to strong drinks, helped him survive, and many people in the crash of the ship.

About Charles Juvine little known until it arrives at the position of the chief Baker on the Titanic. He was born on August 3 1878, in Liverpool, in a simple working-class family learned to cook and started to work on ocean liners as a Baker, as the profession was he most liked.

Profession Charles corresponded closely to his hobby — Goofin was great, not drinking too much and prefer to produce alcohol on their own, using with his hands raised moonshine. Well, and where there is bread, there is always a "strategic" for moonshiners raw yeast and sugar.

The Titanic Baker Jupin transferred from another ocean giant — the "Olympic" and together with things quietly moved to his cabin moonshine. Immediately I must say that it cooks on the luxury liner had a special relationship. The chef of the "Titanic" received the second highest salary after the captain, and Juffin was the head Baker and also belonged to a privileged caste of the staff. His cabin was spacious, had all the amenities and is good enough for a secret Hobbies.

When on 14 April 1912, 23.40 "Titanic" struck an iceberg, 33-year-old Baker had already completed my change and badly typed in my cabin and slept. Like many others, he was awakened by the blow, accompanied by strong noise. Charles did not attach any importance to this and get out of the bed it made only a General alarm.

Driven by a sense of duty, the chief Baker assembled on the boat deck 13 of his subordinates and ordered them out of the storerooms of whole wheat bread. Jupin quite sensibly reasoned that if it takes a serious turn, passengers lifeboats food not hurt. Each of the bakers made to the upper deck, four fresh loaf — the whole supply of bread left after dinner.

After that, Jupin felt thirsty and went back to his cabin to the left of the deck, to drink strong Hooch. 0.30 Charles was still sober enough to climb on the boat deck again. For boat schedule the chief Baker in the event of a disaster were to assume command of the boat 10 and Goofin began to perform their duties.

Jupin sat in the boat passengers, helped to get it into the water and left, telling the audience that his evacuation "would be a bad example" and that "in the boat without him, full of worthy gentlemen". In 1.20 Baker, back to my cabin and with pleasure have drained another glass of whiskey.

Barely Charles saw the bottom of the glass like at his cabin through the gap under the doors began to arrive the water. This made Baker to leave the cabin and once again rise to the lifeboat deck. I must say that to leave the premises of Jupin decided in a timely manner — if he hesitated, then go upstairs and he would not have given streams of water gushing down the stairs.

Exchanging a few words with Dr. O'loughlin, strolling along the side, Jupin rushed to the promenade deck. There is a drunken Charles began to do things that seemed strange to the audience — it was one after the other to throw away the wooden sun loungers. This work is not easy if you don't believe, try to raise this lounger and swing it through meter fence. However, Jupin thrown overboard 50 loungers!

Strange, but this idea came to mind only drunk in smoke Charles, and present at the other men didn't even try to help him. Later it turned out that the wooden sun loungers saved many lives — people trapped in the water, was able to hold on to them.

2.10 Charles finished work and went to the only remaining available as a buffet, located on the starboard side of the vessel. It is unknown, managed to find a Baker that he needed, and took another dose of "doping", as in the cupboard he found the last act of the tragedy of the Titanic. With a terrible roar, the ship leaned to the left side, and Charles had to flee.

Baker got to panic the deck and began making their way to the stern of the ship. The last meters Charles climbed the rail fence, as when he reached Utah, the Titanic was almost in vertical position, and feed it towered over the oceans by 50 meters.

There Jupin sat down, as far as possible comfortable and roomy applied to the flask, which almost never parted. It was an emergency supply of Charles and what he floated, talked a lot about the Baker was preparing for death in the waves of the ocean. This point was shown by James Cameron's Oscar-winning "Titanic".

When the heroes DiCaprio and Winslet got out on the water, towering over the stern of the ship, next to them was a man in a suit of the chef, prikladyvalis to the flask. According to the Director — that was the chief Baker Charles Jupin. At 2.15 the ship almost sank into the water and the Baker, check your life jacket, slipped on metal poop into the water, not even wet hair.

Fortunately for Charles, and many others, the ship sank smoothly and did not create the usual in such cases, the whirlpool that draws on the depth from the surface of the water all that is possible. After that, Baker was alone, sipping periodically from its reserves, until 4 am, until I saw it next to an inverted canvas boat. Under her was a mess of people and places Jupina wasn't there, but, fortunately for him, among the survivors was Kok John Maynard.

So the man wrote about it in the official report later. Jupin shook hands with colleagues while in the water, another hour and a half before the arrival of the ship "Carpathia". By the time Charles pulled in the boat, the sailors, he was in the water more than 2.5 hours.

According to rough estimates, since the impact of the Titanic an iceberg, to the moment of salvation, that is, in 4 hours, the Baker had to drink 1.5–2 liters of spirits. It was a homemade whiskey, whiskey factory from the bar and gin. They say that alcohol helps to warm up and contributes to death from hypothermia. We won't argue with that, but the story of the Baker Jupina this denies scientific fact.

After the sinking of the Titanic Jupin as if nothing had happened, continued naval service. He took the ship "Oregon", which is also soon sank in the middle of Boston Harbor. Needless to say that Jupina after "Titanic," it was a mere trifle, and he again escaped. During the Second world Charles served in the military transports, visited various alterations and survived.

Charles was married and raised a daughter. All his life he drank and died in 1956 in the city of Paterson, new Jersey, USA at the ripe age of 78 years.
