Dubbed the “Millionaire’s Boat," lifeboat number 1 was the fourth lifeboat to leave the Titanic as it sank. It carried only 12 people, despite the fact that it had the capacity for 65. On board, were five first-class passengers, including Sir Cosmo and Lady Lucy Duff Gordon, as well as seven crew members. Sir Cosmo bribed the crew members to take just the five of them, ignoring the pleas of other passengers.

what are your guesses on non-regional ancestors we are possibly meeting in Z-A?
It would be cool to have Jasmine or Whitney... Or Skyla or even Opal.
And given that Kalos is going to be very into fashion present day it would be cool to see any of the model Gym Leaders ancestors in Kalos as their interest has already been in them. And they are designing the clothing we are going to wear...
either way I'm looking forward to any ancestor that might show up! Expanding the families of characters in previous games help to appreciate them more, especially if their roles were tiny!
Oh this is a good question 🤔 Well, if the game truly does take place in the past (since all we have is speculation atm), I would love to see an Olympia ancestor. She was always my favorite out of the Kalos cast because she's so stunning to me and I had a crush on her LOL
In all serious though I think it's almost a given that we'd see a Diantha ancestor! Which I honestly would love to see, since she gets way to much hate as a Champion. I do agree though that it would be super cool to see a focus on fashion houses and couturiers. Most likely it would be a Valorie ancestor who acts as the clothier of Lumiose City if anything! Speaking of I actually do plan to name my Pokémon with a Fashion Designer theme (Lucile/Lady Duff Gordon, Vionnet, Fortuny, Poiret, etc.) to make use of the brief fashion history under my belt XD
Edit: OH JUST READ YOU SAID NON-REGION WHOOPS
On that note then I would do anything to see ancestors for Wattson, Winona, or Drake!

Wednesday 5.. February 1840
8 ½
..
monsieur came in the night?  chemise much soiled at noon on Thursday – Refreshed after having slept perhaps 1 ½ hour – finished the little bit of packing that remained to be done – breakfast over at 11 ½ and at 11 ½ sent Gross to Mr. Marc’s with note enclosing five £25 circulars nos. 8592, 3, 4, 5, 6 to be cashed and A-‘s letter to her sister and my own letters to “Miss Marian Lister North Cave Yorkshire Angleterre” “Robert Parker Esquire Solicitor, Halifax, Yorkshire England” – “Messrs. R. and H. Hunt, Hamburg” and packet to “John Hodgson Esquire English Quay, St. Petersburg” (containing civil note to Mr. Hodgson himself thanks for his attention etc. and asking him to forward thro’ Mr. Buchanan by the bag my 2 half sheet-notes to the “Honourable Lady Stuart” and to “Lady Stuart de Rothesay” both undercover to Lord Stuart de Rothesay 3 Carlton house terrace London) and packet to “Messrs. Hammersley and co. Bankers London” containing a thin ½ sheet close and small written note in envelope to “Lady Duff Gordon 34 Hertford street” from 11 ½ to 6 at accounts and settling with George the courier Grotza who leaves us on our setting off on our journey, and Gross – paid the latter his ¼ years wages due on the 16th instant and 30 days board in advance £1 for every 6 days i.e. 24 Roubles for every 6 days = 21 x 5 = 105 R. per 30 days – Had Mrs. Howard sundry times on one account or other – I had ordered the Kibitkas’ to be packed immediately on Gross’s return from Mr. Marcs’, but somehow this was not understood and it was 4 p.m. when Gross came to ask if they were to be packed – and it being a 3 or 4 hours job made us off so late – Mr. Marcs’ cashier brought the money I having omitted to indorse the circulars – asked for tea about 6 – wrote and left with Mrs. Howard the following character of Grotza – Mrs. Lister will be obliged to Mrs. Howard to inform anyone who may apply for the character of Elizabeth Catherine Gross that she has lived in Mrs. Listers’ service as Ladys’ maid from the 10th of May 1839 to the 5th of February 1840, and that Mrs. Lister has found her strictly honest, well-conducted and trustworthy, clean and neat in her person and about her work and a good hairdresser, and getter up of fine linen – Mrs. Lister has had no occasion of trying her in dress-making, but she had a good character for ability in this respect from the lady with whom she lived last – Wednesday 5 February 1840. (I am not certain whether the paper was dated or not) –
we had had tea and waited some time for all [?] announced ready when the summons came at 7 25/.. – but our kibitka so uncomfortable the little alteration that could be made took till 7 ¾ vid. p. 7
SH:7/ML/E/24/0006
(vid. p. 7) still the seat too high – our kibitka uncomfortably pace – no help for it till morning – never dreampt of being off so late – in the dark – now at 7 ¾ as we drive off from Mrs. Howards’ in the Great Dimitri Street Moscow – A- and I and our government post courier in our covered kibitka (3 horses) followed by our Russian servants George and his wife, and our German Gross in an ordinary ½ mat-covered kibitka also with 3 horses – uncomfortable
Leave Moscow fine day
