Yes !!
What a guy ..

Amongst other things..he led droves of guys ( most survived) to and from the Klondike at the height of the gold rush ..


He went down with the Titanic but was miraculously thrown to the surface and survived !!

Then at 66 he sailed in his tug boat ( licensed for 21 people) to Normandy and came back with around 130 men !!
