We named our ROV the Nina
Harper in honor a survivor of the Titanic disaster.
Nina was only six years old when she boarded the ship with her
father, John Harper, a minister of the Gospel. He planned to
travel to the Moody Church in Chicago, where he’d been
invited to preach for three months. When the Titanic struck
the fateful iceberg and began to sink, Harper made sure his
daughter was placed into one of the lifeboats. He then began
what would be the last evangelistic work of his young life.
As the freezing waters began to fill
the ship, Harper was heard shouting, “Let the women, children,
and the unsaved into the lifeboats.” Survivors reported
that Harper took off his own life jacket and gave it to another
man. “Don’t worry about me,” he reportedly
said, “I’m not going down, I'm going up!”
John Harper died saving people that night. We wanted to commemorate
the lives of this courageous man and his daughter.
