- Rigel_(dog) abstract "Rigel was a Newfoundland dog who was said to have saved some of the survivors of the sinking of RMS Titanic. However, although the story has been widely reproduced, there is doubt about whether the dog actually existed.Rigel was said to have been a large Newfoundland dog owned by William McMaster Murdoch, the First Master of the Titanic.Murdoch went down with the ship, but Rigel swam away, and stayed close to one of the lifeboats.When RMS Carpathia arrived on the scene looking for survivors, Rigel began to bark.The lifeboat had drifted under the bows of the Carpathia, and was at risk of being run down, but the people in the boat were too exhausted to make themselves heard. Rigel's barks alerted the ship's captain, who ordered the engines stopped and began the search for survivors. Everyone in the lifeboat was saved, and Rigel was pulled from the icy water after three hours, unaffected by the experience.The dog was too large to be pulled from the water by hand, but Jonas Briggs managed to get a canvas sling under its belly, with which it was hauled aboard. </ref> This story was told by Jonas Briggs, a seaman aboard the Carpathia.Briggs later adopted the dog.Doubts have been raised about the story.It seems that Jonas Briggs was not in fact a crew member of the Carpathia.Also, none of the survivors in lifeboat number four mentioned the dog. So the story may well be untrue.".
