His unidentified body was recovered by the Mackay-Bennett after the sinking, and for many years, he was called The Unknown Child.[1] In 2008, mitochondrial DNA testing by the Armed Forces lab revealed his identity. Baby Goodwin is the only member of his family whose body has been recovered and identified.[2]
