Jacobs spent his banking career as an officer and assistant vice president at the Girard Trust Company in Philadelphia. The Thayer Role: The Thayer family was deeply integrated into the executive leadership of Philadelphia's rail and financial institutions. Notably, John Borland Thayer II (the prominent cricket player and Pennsylvania Railroad executive who tragically died on the RMS Titanic) and his son, John B. Thayer III (a Titanic survivor and banking executive), moved in the exact same executive banking circles. The Thayers held substantial financial influence and board-level associations with the major trusts of Philadelphia, including Girard Trust. Reginald R.

He worked with an art teacher aboard the rescue ship Carpathia, Lewis Skidmore, to create sketches showing the ship breaking apart. Decades later, when Robert Ballard discovered the wreck in 1985, Thayer's controversial account was completely vindicated. Signed by Author(s).…
