Cricketer Executive Mustache Passenger Thayer Titanic Victim Pennsylvania Railroad
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of John Borland Thayer, a prominent figure in both business and sports during the early 20th century. With his distinguished mustache and confident gaze, Thayer exudes an air of authority and success. Born in 1862, Thayer made a name for himself as an executive at the Pennsylvania Railroad, one of the leading transportation companies of its time. However, his accomplishments extended beyond the boardroom. Thayer was also recognized as a first-class cricketer, showcasing his athleticism and competitive spirit on the field. Tragically, Thayer's life was cut short during one of history's most infamous disasters – the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. As a passenger aboard this ill-fated ship, he became one of its victims. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder not only of Thayer's achievements but also of the devastating loss suffered by those aboard that fateful voyage. Preserved through time by The Granger Collection, this image allows us to glimpse into John Borland Thayer's world – capturing his charisma and ambition forever frozen in early 20th-century elegance. It stands as a testament to both his personal legacy and to all those whose lives were tragically intertwined with that monumental event on April 15th over a century ago.
