Mr. Ramon Artagaveytia
It would be horrible enough to be on one ship that was sinking, but to be on two would be horrific. In 1871, Ramon Artagaveytia, a native of Punta, Espinillo, Uruguay, was one of the few people to survive the sinking of the ship America. Only 65 of the passengers were able to swim to safety, including Artagaveytia, who jumped into the ocean and was able to save his own life by swimming.

Forty-one years after the disaster, Artagaveytia discovered that he was sailing on a ship that had a striking resemblance to the Titanic. Before embarking on his journey to France, he paid a visit to his nephew. Unfortunately, he did not survive this accident as successfully as he had the one before it.
