It is said that in the 1930s, a spinster librarian and a crewman fell in love. The plan was for the couple to marry after his final cruise, but unfortunately, the ship was swept away and the entire crew went down with the ship.

The librarian never recovered from her grief and it is said that she died soon after- possibly of a broken heart.

Many people have reported seeing the librarian gazing out of the window of the Lilac Room up on the 6th floor, bound for eternity to wait on her missing lover to return from sea.
