Eva Hart








                                              Eva Hart   


                         Eva hart was a young girl on the Titanic. She was 7 years old when she, along with her mother and father boarded the RMS Titanic as second class passengers on April 10, 1912. Eva recalled that her mother said firmly that she wouldn't go to bed at night on the ship at all because she was terrified that something bad was going to happen to the Titanic. She also said that her father was excited to be on the ship and her mother was upset as they weren't suppose to be on that ship.

                       Eva was of course sleeping when the Titanic hit the iceberg and of course her mother was awake. her mother awoke her father and he rushed to the boat deck to see what was the matter. He came back and bundled Eva and her mother in blankets and coats and rushed them to the boat deck and onto Lifeboat No.14. that was the last time she would ever see her father. They never recovered his body.

                Eva and her mother were rescued on the Carpathia and arrived at New York. Eva said she had nightmares about the ship. When her mother died when she was 23 she went upon another ship and locked herself in her cabin for four days straight until the nightmares went away. She saw the ship go down and heard the screams and because of that she had nightmares. Eva wrote a autobiography called Shadow of the Titanic: A Survivors Story. Eva was the last living survivor of the Titanic who remembered what happened she died from cancer on February 14, 1996 in her home.
