Last Night on the Titanic, The Popcorn Vendor

From History on the Net.

One  legendary fixture on the Titanic was a gregarious  popcorn vendor known as Popcorn Dan Coxon.  You could call him one of America's first food truck operators and was a highly successful purveyor of popcorn.

He was lost on the Titanic and his body never recovered, although a New York Times article claimed it was him when it wasn't.

Coxon lived an interesting life.  He lived in a Queen Anne house on the Wisconsin River, which people thought was haunted.  He dressed  in a fur-lined coat and loved to maintain a flashy appearance.  But he was still a working-class man.

This was by Veronica Hinke, who wrote the book "The Last Night on the Titanic."
