Drunkie 2 is a minor character in the 1997 film 'Titanic' and is portrayed by Oliver G. Dunton.
Biography[]
Drunkie 2 was an Irish Beermaker and a working-class man from Ireland. It's possible due to the similarities between them that he was related to Titanic Drunk. They both loved to drink and get drunk.
The Voyage[]
On April 11, 1912, he and a possible sailing party set sail on board the Titanic to go to New York City, entering in Queenstown via the tender ship Ireland. A few days later, on April 13, 1912, a party was held in the Third Class Open Space, and he was hanging out with his friends. After the Titanic Drunk crashed through a table, Drunkie 2, as well as Drunkies 4 and 5, helped him up. Then, later, he watched as Tommy Ryan and Bjorn Gunderson arm-wrestled. Then he was watching the two dancers on the cargo hatch as they danced the night off. Later, one of the dancers did a trick, then fell, causing everyone to exclaim.
The Sinking[]
The next day, twenty minutes before midnight, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg and it rapidly began to sink. As the Drunkies were playing cards and drinking beer in the Smoking Room they felt a shake. It wasn't until a little while later when the stewards began to wake all the passengers up and throw lifejackets on the floor that they knew something was serious. Drunkie 3 reunited with his family and Drunkie 6 looked for ale on board, whereas the other four tried to find out what was happening.
Drunkie 2 obtained a lifejacket from a steward and tried to proceed upstairs using the main stairwell but discovered that it had became blocked with a bostwick gate, with another steward and his assistants waiting at the top, and they met Drunkie 3 there. Realizing it was hopeless, he went to look for a different way out with Drunkie 5, and reunited with Drunkie 2. Nearby, they managed to find another gate blocked by the steward who gave him the lifejacket and another steward. However three crazed men tore a bench from the floor and threw it into the gate, slamming it open, with a girl calling for people to move. As everyone escaped, Tommy Ryan punched the steward down.
By the time Drunkie 1, Drunkie 2 and Drunkie 5 finally reached the deck, the lifeboats were gone. Drunkie 1 went forward to meet up with his family, and Drunkie 2 and Drunkie 5 moved aft. By that point in time the ship was rapidly beginning to sink and rise into the air and they had to push through crowds, and the bow was underwater. Eventually Drunkie 1 came back and joined them, and also at the stern was a chef, a priest, a praying man, a man, two women with babies, a group of praying passengers (including George Widener), an old man from First Class, and two passengers from earlier.
They reached the Poop Deck, which was the further most aft part of the ship for them to go. Drunkie 5 became stuck in the crowd, and Drunkie 2 decided to jump into the water. It's not known what happened to him after.

—- Feliks | ||
Feliks a minor character in the 1997 film Titanic and is portrayed by an unknown actor.
Biography[]
Feliks was born in Germany or Ukraine to a Ukranian father who was abusive and a German mother that died to a cholera-type illness. His father harshly punished him, which he joked about later in life. He grew up a "man of humour". Then, Feliks took up a job of scrubbing tires for German cars, to be paid a whole dollar. He met his wife after she slipped and fell down an icy road in Rome, and they had four that same year, one of which died of some sort of infectious disease, as he tells Drunkie 5.
The Voyage[]
He was still scrubbing tires up until April 9, 1912, when he decided to look for a better life in America, and took the crossing a day later on the RMS Titanic.
Feliks then boarded and had trouble understanding the English on board, despite his wife's best efforts to calm him down. He took his anger out on a steward who was helping out passengers in the hall. Then, along with the five friends he had made during the voyage, went out on deck to wave goodbye.
Three days later, after calming down quite a lot, Feliks enjoyed the festivities with the others. He watched a wrestling match between Bjorn Gunderson and Tommy Ryan, cheering on Bjorn. Afterwards a woman stole their drinks, causing Drunkie 6 to tell him that she was insane. Feliks only replied with a joke related to his childhood, causing the laughter of Drunkie 6. Then the entire party centered around two dancers on the dance floor.
The Sinking[]
The next day, twenty minutes before midnight, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg and it rapidly began to sink. The Drunkies were playing cards and drinking beer in the Smoking Room, far behind and above the collision. They felt just a minor shake, causing Feliks to yell "боже...". They returned to their cards. It wasn't until a little while later when the stewards began to wake all the passengers up and throw lifejackets on the floor that they knew something was serious. Drunkie 6 ran to look for ale on board when Drunkie 3 remembered to go look for his wife.
After fetching her, they tried to proceed upstairs using the main stairwell but discovered that it had became blocked with a bostwick gate, with another steward and his assistants waiting at the top. Frustrated, he ran up the stairs and tried yelling at the man to open it but he was beginning to grow more concerned. Upset, Feliks waited at the bottom of the stairs with his wife and dozens of other passengers. That's when Drunkie 2 ran and found him, but decided he would try to escape through a different route.
After waiting a very, very long time, the stewards realized that if they ran away the mob would grow too violent unsupervised and break out, so they remained their. Five stewards and a seaman all tried to keep the mob back to no avail, it was simply too violent at that point. Eventually, once water began to flood the foyer, Drunkie 3, Drunkie 6, the Dahls and the other immigrants had enough, and they tore down the gate. The steward and his assistants accosted some of the passengers including Drunkie 6, who yelled for Feliks and his wife to get to the Boat Deck, even without him. Feliks continued to try and find a way out.
After a few minutes, water began to flood the upper level as well, and Feliks and his wife could find no way out. The Titanic was now beginning it's final plunge, and, on the outside, the last lifeboats had left and the deck was submerging. The power began to flicker out and the angle became more steep. Feliks, desperate, burst open every door along the hallway they were in, but there was no way out. Suddenly the ship dropped out from under them as it broke in half, and Feliks and his wife were killed.
Drunkie 4[]
Drunkie 4 was a minor character in the 1997 film 'Titanic' and is portrayed by Kenn Sormland.
Biography[]
Little is known about Drunkie 4 other than the fact that he lived with his mother and worked as a Butcher, and was very young at the time of 1912, when he moved to Liverpool as a meat merchant, and he was very young and very gleeful.
The Voyage[]
Drunkie 4 was having drinks in a pub when he realized the time and got up to board the ship. After settling in with his cabin (which was shared with Drunkie #5 and Drunkie #6) he went aboard the ship's Poop Deck with the other Drunkies to wave goodbye to England, and his mother. She began to cry at the dock as he left to America, and he got emotional and had to return to his cabin before getting more sad.
Two days later, on April 13, during the party in the Third Class Open Space, he was playing games with his friends when one of them crashed through a table, but then got right back up. This caused him and the others to laugh. He then went back to enjoying the festivities.
Later, Drunkie 4 was watching a wrestling match between Bjorn Gunderson and Tommy Ryan, cheering on Bjorn. Then Drunkie 4 and the other partiers had to watch the two dancers on the dance floor, as their sparratic spinning and whooping was too hilarious to look away.
The Sinking[]
The next day, twenty minutes before midnight, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg and it rapidly began to sink. As the Drunkies were playing cards and drinking beer in the Smoking Room they felt a shake. It wasn't until a little while later when the stewards began to wake all the passengers up and throw lifejackets on the floor that they knew something was serious.
Drunkie 6 ran to drink himself stupid at the bar, Drunkie 3 ran to get his wife, leaving Drunkie 4, Drunkie 2, and Drunkie 5 alone. They all got lifejackets from a steward. A minute later, they tried to proceed upstairs using the main stairwell but discovered that it had became blocked with a bostwick gate, with another steward and his assistants waiting at the top, and they met Drunkie 3 there.
Drunkie 4 became lost in the crowd and it wasn't until nearly an hour later that he realized all his friends had left him. Terrified and panicked, knowing that there was water, ran down the corridor and heard a loud crash behind him, and tried to go see what it was but was blocked by a massive falling gerder. Knee-deep in ice water, and desperate, he looked for anything in the corridor to use as an escape, and he found a small porthole. Waist-deep in water, he kicked it open, squeezed himself through, and climbed out. The ship was beginning to become devoured by the ocean, and he swam as fast as he could to try and escape, but within minutes he froze to death in the ice cold.
