Manage episode 337340789 series 1521983
On the evening of 29 September 1913, a 55-year old man boarded the SS Dresden steamship in Antwerp, Belgium bound for London.
He took dinner on board the ship and then retired to his cabin at about 10 pm, leaving word to be called the next morning at 6:15 am.
But in the morning his cabin was empty. The man was never seen alive again.
