John Jacob Astor VI
John Jacob "Jakey" Astor VI (August 14, 1912 – June 26, 1992) was an American socialite, shipping businessman, and member of the Astor family. Dubbed the "Titanic Baby", he was best known for his affiliation with the ''RMS Titanic'', being an unborn survivor of the sinking. He was born four months after his father, Colonel John Jacob Astor IV, died in the sinking of the ''Titanic''.
==Early life==
Astor was born in New York City, New York on August 14, 1912. He was the son of Colonel John Jacob "Jack" Astor IV (1864–1912) and socialite Madeleine Talmage Force (1893–1940). Their marriage in September 1911 had sparked much controversy not only due to their 29-year age difference but also since Colonel Astor had only previously been divorced from his first wife socialite Ava Lowle Willing (1868–1958) two years earlier in November 1909. The couple was returning home aboard the ''Titanic'' after about three months of honeymooning in Egypt and Europe. Madeleine was five months pregnant with Jakey when her husband put her in one of the ship's lifeboats. She was rescued eight hours after her husband went down with the ship. Jakey's godmother was Colonel Astor's sister philanthropist Caroline Schermerhorn "Carrie" Astor (1861–1948) while his godfathers were Carrie's son Marshall Orme Wilson, Jr. (1885–1966) and Madeleine's cousin Philip Lyndon Dodge.
After Jack's death, Madeleine raised their son at Beachwood the mansion in Newport, Rhode Island as part of the Astor family. She would later remarry to banker William Karl Dick (1888–1953) in June 1916 and boxer Enzo Fiermonte (1908–1993) in November 1933. Fiermonte had taught her sons boxing. Through Dick, she would have two more sons: William Force Dick (1917–1961) and John Henry Dick II (1919–1995).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/william-dick-dies-an-industrialist.html )〕 Jakey, who had become close to Dick, highly opposed the union with Fiermonte and repeatedly tried to convince his mother to end the relationship. He and his mother frequently argued over the union. This caused a rift between the two though they later reconciled within several months of the marriage. When asked if his mother was marrying Fiermonte, he responded "Unfortunately, it's true".
Jakey graduated from St. George's School in Newport, Rhode Island and from Harvard University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.titanic-passengers.com/madeleineastor.htm )〕
