On April 15, 1912, the Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg. Two days later CS Mackay-Bennett set sail with more ships to retrieve the bodies from the wreck site.

The ship managed to recover 306 corpses, of which 116 were returned to the sea due to their advanced state of decomposition. On the morning of April 30, the Mackay-Bennett returned with the remaining 190 bodies. There was no place in town to deposit them and they had to use the Mayflower Club curling ring as a morgue.
