My Titanic Person: Esther Hart

Esther Hart never wanted to go to Winnipeg.  When her husband Benjamin announced his decision to leave Ilford, England and try for a new life in Canada, she was apprehensive.   But times were hard in the building industry and her husband’s business was suffering.   One day, an old friend stopped in to visit.  He was a Winnipeg
resident
, who had a lot to say about the booming economy in Manitoba.  Benjamin was taken with the idea that it was the answer to his troubles and would give him the potential of a successful future.  

Esther and her family were second class passengers.
