Titanic’s Unknown Child Identified
DNA analysis on small fragments of a one-year-old Titanic victim’s remains has led to the discovery of the child’s identity, 99 years after the famous sinking in the North Atlantic. Sidney Leslie Goodwin, 19 months old, drowned on April 21, 1912, and was buried at a cemetery in Halifax, Nova Scotia, with a headstone dedicated to the “unknown child.” Goodwin was traveling on the Titanic with his parents, Frederick and Augusta, and five siblings. Sidney is the only one whose body was found.
