As you can imagine, Captain Rostron was heralded as a hero around the world. As a gesture of gratitude, three survivors and now widows from New York's high society, Mrs. Madeleine Talmage Astor (wife of John Jacob Astor IV), Mrs. Marian Longstreth Thayer (wife of John B. Thayer), and Mrs. Eleanor Elkins Widener (wife of George D. Widener), presented Rostron with this Tiffany & salg og service Co. pocket watch, made by Touchon.
