Sante Righini was a man on the Titanic who helped women and children get onto life boats, only to turn around and see the life boat left without him. A researcher has recently discovered his grave in Bushwick's Evergreens Cemetery, and now plans are in motion to get a special plaque to this historically significant site. Learn all about it in this video from the New York Daily News.
The last time he was seen alive, Sante Righini was standing on the deck of the sinking Titanic, his fate sealed. For years his grave at Evergreens cemetery didn't note his death as being on the Titanic, now the cemetery looks to change the grave marker.
