Frederick Barrett

Frederick William Barrett was a British stoker. After having served as a stoker on several ships, on 6 April 1912, he was hired aboard RMS Titanic as lead stoker. On 15 April 1912, while the ship was sinking, Barrett boarded lifeboat No. 13 and took command of it, thus surviving the disaster. He later testified before commissions of inquiry into the sinking of the ship and continued to work in the merchant marine until the 1920s.
