Cal attempted to have Jack arrested and showed how he looked down on third class passengers by calling Jack "filth", but Rose stopped him and explained that Jack had saved her. They found Jack and Rose sprawled out on the floor together and called the Master at Arms which caused Caledon to come to the scene. This attracted the attention of the crew members, who came running to help. On her way back, Rose slipped and despite Jack saving her, screamed out of fear. Jack stopped and saved her from commiting suicide. In his first days on the Titanic, he was able to enjoy his luxury and spend time with Fabrizio until one day, he found Rose DeWitt Bukater, a beautiful first-class passenger, trying to commit suicide by jumping off the stern because of her repetitive lifestyle and forced engagement to Caledon Hockley. He was a poor third-class artist and was able to board the ship only after winning tickets in a lucky game of poker against two Swedish men with tickets and playing with his friend, Fabrizio De Rossi. Jack Dawson boarded the RMS Titanic in on April 10, 1912. While growing up, he went to Monterey and worked on a squid boat, then in the pier of Santa Monica, Los Angeles, where he drew portraits for 10 cents a piece which back then would be a night out, and he also spent some time in Paris.Īpparently, he was sleeping under a bridge the day before he boarded Titanic, most likely with Fabrizio. At some point, he met Fabrizio De Rossi, in most likely Italy, who would become his best friend, leading them traveling together. His parents died when he was 15 in a fire, which resulted in him having to begin living on his own and later travel the world. It is unknown who his parents were, but he would remember ice-fishing with his father in Lake Wissota (which in real life would not be formed until after 1912). Jack Dawson was born near Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin in 1892.
