Joseph Laroche and Juliette Lafargue were an interracial couple aboard the Titanic. As the ship sank, Joseph took his pregnant wife and children to the deck and managed to get them into a lifeboat. He said, “I’ll get another boat. God be with you. I’ll see you in New York.” Joseph died in the sinking. He was the only victim of African Descent on the Titanic. Son Joseph was born 8 months later.
