That's what stood out for me as well. She really only alluded to her father's death, without specifically saying he drowned or died, suggesting that even all those years later, it was still an incredibly painful loss for her.
You can see the trauma surfacing by how she shifts her entire position to huddled over/protecting her core as she gets closer to that point. Heartbreaking. Losing a parent has a profound effect on most people to begin with. Can’t imagine how losing one in this manner would’ve affected the course of one’s life.
I can’t imagine the lifelong pain of loosing her dad. I am assuming he died. What a great father that he acted so quickly and precisely to get his little girl to safety. God bless her.
For those saying Eva Hart was not actually the last living survivor of the Titanic and say it was Millvina Dean, yes you're right. Eva died in 1995, meanwhile Millvina died in 2009. The difference is Eva had memories about the Titanic as she was 7 when it sank and Millvina was just 2 months old. Therefore, Eva was the last survivor who would recount what happened.
@@FallenOrderx3 most adults (far beyond 21) barely remember anything before their teens, but major or random events from much earlier can stick with them
As a father I can't imagine the man's heartsickness whenever it was he realized he wasn't ever going to be able to see his precious baby girl again, and how much pain that would cause her.
I knew Eva Hart, she was an amazing lady and quite formidable at times. Her recollection of events is very clear, but as a 7 year old undergoing such a traumatic event it would of course form an indelible memory that would last forever. God bless her.
@Hunter Bridge The thing is even if they couldn’t deploy they still would have tried to stay on the lifeboats when the Titanic sank. That’s what happened with lifeboat A and C, both weren’t fully deployed but passengers/officers got on it when the Boat collapsed and 60+ people managed to survive. I put more blame on the Captain as well as he didn’t clarify the urgency of the situation so passengers were still not getting on the boat after being told the ship was sinking. Undermanning the lifeboats was stupid and they ended up trying to recall them back but it was too late by then.
Is this really true though? They only had roughly 2 hours after the iceberg hit. To launch 2200 people into lifeboats in that tiny amount of time which requires a lot of manpower would be difficult. Remember that the first lifeboats didn't even get launched well over an hour after the iceberg hit.
If the Titanic had been equipped with sonar and radar technology, the tragedy would likely have not occurred. However, sonar was still in the experimental stage in 1912, and the development of radar was still more than 20 years in the future.
When speaking about the last memory of her father you can see the pain of reliving the trauma on her face and in her eyes. Its like through her gaze, she is back on the life boat with her mother and she sees the final moments with her father. That's truly heart breaking...
She was my nan's best friend when they lived in Ilford. Funnily enough, Eva's voice sounds like my nan's, which is quite spine tingling as I lost my nan 12 years ago.
I Love Susan Atkins Despite losing her father at a young age, she grew up to be a Magistrate! She was also a professional singer, which I expect is how she met my nan, who was the same.
It did occur to me this lady is rather tough and steely, but the sadness still remains buried beneath her poised face. Some things really are too hard to get over. You just live with it.
Notice that once she mentions that she would never see her father again, she quickly stops the narrative and starts complaining about the loss of lives. Her father’s death still haunted her.
Who cares about the narrative when all of those people were lost. Anyone would have felt the same if it was their father. This is so deeply tragic there is no words
@@FreshUnlimitedMusic No, I am not evil. I am angry that the original comment uses the word "complain" when anybody would be more interested in the death of their own family members than about "the narrative". For me she did not stop the narrative she started talking about things that are more important. A lot of people seem to be misinterpreting my comment. I should have phrased it differently.
I lost my dad a year and a half ago he was 58 and I was 32. I see the pain on her face still allllll those years later I can tell she still aches for her dad . And the thought of me feeling this way for another 60+ years if I’m granted a long life like her terrifies me. I really enjoyed this interview I want to see the full interview now!!!!
Her parents had a good marriage and that's evident by the fact that they didn't need to talk about "it". There was trust, emotional maturity and compassion for their daughter - they knew what was happening. They did a great job of remaining calm, so as not to instill panic in Eva.
@@aicerg I just meant that in a crises, some partners in a marriage (and obviously good parents) can emotionally move from their own panic and think of their children who are there in the crises with them. If Eva hadn't been traveling with them, I'm sure words would have been exchanged. Attuned people can read body language. Some learn and communicate in a kinesthetic way (usually athletically inclined people). My father was an officer in the Navy and specialized in encryption and espionage (yes, really). He told me as a kid, that there are more ways to communicate than by talking. Sometimes people "feel" what you feel. He taught me to relax and know that you don't have to fill every moment or moments of silence with words and that others sometimes appreciate your presence but don't want any conversation - like when you're at a funeral or trying to comfort someone grieving. Words in those situations make things worse. As far as communication in a marriage, I do think people who are blessed with a good partnership (unbroken trust, respect and love) will trust the other when there is NO time for words, like in an emergency.
@ihabhatim5825 What are you stupid or something? The Titanic sank in 1912 before WW1 so she even went through that as a child and then the Blitz 20 years later.
Wow. She spoke with so much insight. Had there been enough lifeboats for everyone, it would’ve just been a sensational story in the newspaper about how the world’s most luxurious ship (of its time) sank in its maiden voyage, instead of being the tragic and alluring story it is today. So much so that even more than a hundred years later, people are still attracted to it. Some even take risky voyages in submersibles not designed to handle such great oceanic depths and its inhabitants die in a similar manner for similar reasons of hubris, etc.
@@WilleJamesHuff true. But again, it wouldn’t have been the tragedy that it was because the owners opted for optics and aesthetics over safety (which was why the ship didn’t have enough lifeboats for everyone on board). And the captain or the owners or whoever cared more about reaching NYC and beating a record (if I recall correctly) again instead of choosing safety and good common sense (traveling through the Atlantic at night in freezing temperatures called for a more cautious approach). The ship sank in about 2.5 hours. If they had a safety protocol in place, the crew would’ve known how to handle an emergency situation and could’ve gotten more or less all the people safely onto the lifeboats on time. Instead, they thought the Titanic was unsinkable so they initially didn’t even realize that the ship was sinking. It was only later when the lower compartments kept filling with water one after another, that the “watertight” doors couldn’t contain/stop, and the ship started weighing downwards in the front that they realized that the ship was sinking. So, they lost some precious time in that confusion as well. It’s good to have confidence, but they should’ve thought more practically that technically anything that floats can sink. They should’ve had a more modest or at least realistic perspective of things. I only say this so we can learn from the past, which is the whole point behind revisiting mistakes.
Definitely would have been deaths, particularly among the engineers and postal workers who were deep within the ship. But most would have lived for sure. Who thought that life boars for 800 was a good idea. If that was the case, why have any? No point. If the boat would need to use them, you’re saying over half will have to die no matter what.
@@adamlewis5700they didn't think they would need enough lifeboats for everyone because the idea was to use them to transport people to a rescue ship or to shore, and then bring the boats back to get more people. Titanic sank in about 2 and a half hours, which was a lot quicker than the people who designed the ship anticipated. They thought that the design of the ship with its watertight compartments would, in the event of a disaster, make it very difficult to sink the ship and if it did sink it would take a long time. They thought rescuers would have plenty of time to reach the ship. At any rate, even if they did have enough lifeboats for everyone, sending people into the frigid north Atlantic in the dark in flimsy boats was dangerous as well and some people succumbed to the cold before getting rescued. It was never plan A to evacuate everyone and have them sit out in the ocean for hours. Anyways, if they had more lifeboats they may not have had time to launch all of them because they required the use of a complex system of davits to lower the boats that the crew had little experience with. As it was, they never successfully launched all the lifeboats. The last two were cut free and floated into the water as the ship was going under. "Remember that on not more than one day in twelve all the year round can you lower a boat. With the roll of the ship the boats swing and will be smashed to smithereens against the side of the ship. The boats then should not be overdone ... It might be fairly supposed that had the Titanic floated for twelve hours all might have been saved." Admiral Lord Charles Beresford to the British House of Commons, one month after the disaster.
I doubt everyone would have survived. The evacuation was chaotic, and the crew hadn't practiced evacuating the passengers. Probably the best example of how unprepared they were is the fact that First Officer Murdoch and Second Officer Lightoller interpreted Captain Smith's order to evacuate women and children first differently. Fewer people would have died, but it still would have been a lot of people.

Her father was really brave :'( and now her brave dad died *cries*
I wish I had come across this video sooner or in my history classes in school. It gives you so much more than books and articles can, it makes it real, tangible, and injects emotion into the awful events that happened that night.
Aw... I love her voice & how she speaks. Shes so precious, ugh.. I feel so bad that she had to witness and go through that, at least she only passed of old age
Anyone remember that scene in Titanic where the father put his wife & two little girls into the lifeboat, and the older girl was crying & said “Daddy, get in the boat!” And the father said “Don’t worry darling, it’s only goodbye for a little while … only for a little while!” Well THAT little girl was based on Eva Hart, and all the trauma she experienced @ that very moment! Poor girl NEVER realized that would be the last time she would ever see her father alive! 🥺 Anytime I watch that scene … oh man, I just completely fall apart! 😩😭
We should all reconsider our relationship with our elders. They have been through a lifetime of happiness and pain. Their lessons should be heard. And they should be respected.
@@MsVijay9999 She was young enough to not have a whole lot of understanding at the time, what was going on, to have a bad memories. If she had been a teenager, things would have been different for her.
What an incredible intuition her Mother had. I don't know that I would have had the same realization of what was going on with the ship. Her Mother didn't let up. Then her Father did all the right things - moving quickly, wrapping her up, ensuring life boat passage. Wow.
It's terribly sad that this remarkable lady had to lose her father on that fateful day, from this interview alone it is obvious what a strong woman she became in adulthood despite experiencing such tragic loss at a very young age, her example of such enduring fortitude and strength of character is truly a triumph over deep adversity and to be both respected greatly and applauded. 😃🙏💖💯
If Eva Hart was alive this past week, she would give absolute hell over the OceanGate tragedy. Can you imagine seeing her on the news? Giving a piece of her mind?
I’m glad she got to tell this story of what she remembered. It was tragic and horrible for what all the people on the titanic witnessed rest their souls❤️🙏 Eva hart has been blessed❤️
I didn't take it that you were referring to her 'accent" as the "reply" below suggested. She has a wonderful "story voice" that draws the listener in and informs with interest!
Thank G-d she survived. This is the best version I've yet to hear told of the Titanic horror. She had an amazing father thats for sure! who made certain that she and his wife were safe. He had to have been very bright and his wife knew it because this persons mother did not have to ask a single question which resulted in precious time saved so that the woman we see in this video survived (as she stated so well). I honestly believe that no matter who / what it is that your personal beliefs are of who's up there (i.e. G-d, etc.) .. that her dad is the definition of what we should all strive to be or ultimately become in this world while we're here. What an amazing gift this lady is to us so that we can hear and see as she tells this very personal life event to us. Thank you also to the person who took the time to upload the video.
@@interstate3551actually this was in 1992 and she was 87 by this time even if it was in 1990 she would have been 85 then because she died in 1996 at the age of 91
The greatest love you can show is to lay down your life for your friends (John 15:13). What a brave, courageous and profoundly loving man her father was. She certainly knew what love was and meant. May they rest in peace.
It's a simple choice as a loving parent. However, very hard to fathom the pain to let your children go for the last time. Given the choice, my kids would go on to live over my own life every time.
Her father didn't get in because it was customary at that time to put women and children first. He didn't give up his place in the lifeboat for his wife and child, he did it for some other woman or child, because that was the social convention at the time.
You can just tell right up to her death years later she was so frustrated with what happened that night and the amount of people that could of been saved
She never got over the anger at the pointless waste of life and who can blame her. Abandoning rapidly sinking ships in stormy seas is fraught with danger but Titanic was sinking slowly on a sea as calm as a millpond and evacuation should have been seamlessly easy. She always said if her father had died because of the force of nature (sunk in a storm) she could have reconciled herself to it but to die because of complacency and sheer human folly was unforgivable
Still just as traumatic if not more. It just makes them able to get in the boat and be calm for the moment. The moment they realize he's not following it'll be 10 times worse
@@chumon1992the point is he stayed strong for them so they wouldn’t feel guilt or fight about who gets to go in the boat etc and we’re able to stay calm in a dangerous situation
@mariahspapaya I see what you're saying but they absolutely WOULD feel guilt. Probably for the rest of their lives. Survivors guilt is a VERY real thing especially when it comes to family. I'm not saying what he did was wrong, what I'm saying is, psychologically in the long run it wouldn't make a difference.
The fact that we can be in the comfort of our homes and beds and listen to this beautiful lady speak about her recollection of what is an actual historical event is amazing. Sometimes I wish that were possible for other time periods and events. Imagine if we actually had video recording of Pliny the Elder talking about witnessing the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius.
True story: My grandfather and his sister were supposed to be on that voyage but were not allowed on. They failed some kind of physical. They were poor Hungarians and most likely would have gone down with the ship.
The last living survivor of the Titanic, Millvina Dean, died at the age of 97 in Southampton after catching pneumonia. As a two-month-old baby, Dean was the youngest passenger on board the giant liner when it sank on its maiden voyage with the loss of more than 1,500 lives
It was such a special night for a special group of people. There is so much wrapped up in this one terrible day. I sometimes invest my entire mind into seeing and feeling everything about that evening, the ship, the people, the society, the communications and I'm never bored in the least ruminating on what could have been or should have been. It's an endless intrigue.
Not exactly some of the survivors died soon after the tragedy. I've been looking at quite a lot of videos about the sinking there were tons of survivors who lived shortly meeting unfortunate events like car hitting, food poisoning, being sick with a disease, suicides, etc.
what was most shitty during the sinking was lifeboat 1 only deployed with 12 people, when it’s capacity’s maximum was 70 people or more if they squish in a few extra. the people on that boat were 7 crewmen’s and 5 first class passengers Most of the occupants of Boat 1 were men, despite Captain Smith's call for "women and children first.", they had enough room for 58 more people. Survivor Margaret Brown described the scene In a New York Time interview. “ The whole thing was so formal that it was difficult for anyone to realise it was a tragedy. Men and women stood in little groups and talked. Some laughed as the boats went over the side. All the time the band was playing...I can see the men up on deck tucking in the women and smiling. It was a strange night. It all seemed like a play, like a dream that was being executed for entertainment. It did not seem real. Men would say "After you" as they made some woman comfortable and stepped back.”
Lifeboat 1 was an emergency boat. It’s capacity was only 40-70 was the capacity of the standard boats, 3-16. Both 1 and 2 were emergency boats, and the four collapsible also had smaller capacities. Still that’s nearly 30 more people who could’ve been saved.
@@karencunningham7009 lot of rich men died as well. The majority stood back to allow women and children on. Of course a few selfish cowards pushed to the front. In fact John Jacob Astor was one of the richest men in the world at the time and he died that night.
I cannot imagine being a child and having to live through the fear of possibly dying in that frigid water or drowning. Also hearing the sounds of the boat breaking apart and just disappearing into the ocean as if it didn’t have life on it to carry them safely to America.
Even now though it’s debatable whether they would’ve been able to save everybody with enough lifeboats, there were still two boats on the ship when it finally sunk so it took two hours to launch roughly 18 of 20 boats, add another 10 or 15 boats to that, yes they would’ve been there, but The whole process of getting them prepared, getting them hooked up, moving them out, lowering them down took so many men and so much time before they could move on to the next. Not because of negligence or anything, just the lifeboat technology at the time. Just a tragedy
Part of the reason it took so long was probably because they were trying to make sure women and children were in fact first. If they had enough lifeboats then that process could have gone a lot faster with less panic. Of course that's just speculation on my part though. There's no real way to know for sure.
The first person that saw the iceberg was called Fedrick Fleet and when he survived more years passed and then his wife died and I think his son to then his brother evicted him then he fell into spiral depression and hanged himself in his brothers garden.
I only heard about this today. When the guy (Baldrick from Blackadder I think his name is Tony) said the man took his life and I saw the age he was from the gravestone I was shocked. Like 77. Poor gentleman.
She was 7 years old when she was on the titanic. I was 7 year old when she died. The movie came out in 1997..... I smell a conspiracy. But on a serious note. R. I. P to all who perished
My grandparents' housekeeper was 4 years old when she came from Ireland on the "Titanic" and told me many times of the horror of the iceberg and subsequent sinking.
what's so heart breaking is how long it took the titanic to sink. this wasn't an instantaneous catastrophic collision. it took over 2 hours. the ONLY REASON so many people died, was because there weren't enough life boats. that's it.
You can see despite her composure how much the recognition of her father not boarding the boat still hits her. It's unimaginable.
That's what stood out for me as well. She really only alluded to her father's death, without specifically saying he drowned or died, suggesting that even all those years later, it was still an incredibly painful loss for her.

@@greedo9543according to other comments, this lady was 7 at the time. 2 months old was another survivor.

The boats then should not be overdone ... It might be fairly supposed that had the Titanic floated for twelve hours all might have been saved."
Admiral Lord Charles Beresford to the British House of Commons, one month after the disaster.
I doubt everyone would have survived. The evacuation was chaotic, and the crew hadn't practiced evacuating the passengers. Probably the best example of how unprepared they were is the fact that First Officer Murdoch and Second Officer Lightoller interpreted Captain Smith's order to evacuate women and children first differently. Fewer people would have died, but it still would have been a lot of people.

Aw... I love her voice & how she speaks. Shes so precious, ugh.. I feel so bad that she had to witness and go through that, at least she only passed of old age

Cool.
Anyone remember that scene in Titanic where the father put his wife & two little girls into the lifeboat, and the older girl was crying & said “Daddy, get in the boat!” And the father said “Don’t worry darling, it’s only goodbye for a little while … only for a little while!” Well THAT little girl was based on Eva Hart, and all the trauma she experienced @ that very moment! Poor girl NEVER realized that would be the last time she would ever see her father alive! 🥺 Anytime I watch that scene … oh man, I just completely fall apart! 😩😭
So sad. Never knew this😢
R.I.P all the Titanic victims, that all of them may rest in Peace.
Watching it after the Titan disaster 🥲

We should all reconsider our relationship with our elders. They have been through a lifetime of happiness and pain. Their lessons should be heard. And they should be respected.
I can only imagine these people were haunted by that night for the rest of their lives
Agreed it would be as bad as WW2 or Nam'
I bet many of the survivors went to therapy, if you could even get it back then
Especially eva...

Her parents were amazing. Her mother was so intuitive.
What an incredible intuition her Mother had. I don't know that I would have had the same realization of what was going on with the ship. Her Mother didn't let up. Then her Father did all the right things - moving quickly, wrapping her up, ensuring life boat passage. Wow.
It's terribly sad that this remarkable lady had to lose her father on that fateful day, from this interview alone it is obvious what a strong woman she became in adulthood despite experiencing such tragic loss at a very young age, her example of such enduring fortitude and strength of character is truly a triumph over deep adversity and to be both respected greatly and applauded. 😃🙏💖💯
This is priceless. I hope all are reunited happily and have a special place in Heaven for what they had endured.
Amazing interview from a survivor who vividly remembers how that horrific tragedy unfolded…
Jim jam pizza jam we will go for to such a, a
So sad when she talked about her father staying behind, heartbreaking.
Miss you grandma. I think of this every day.
Well, that was riveting. She certainly can tell a story and pull you straight into the center of the drama.
Wow, chilling indeed. Amazing to be a survivor of the Titanic. She was lucky.
I imagine it haunted the survivors from that night until their death.
If Eva Hart was alive this past week, she would give absolute hell over the OceanGate tragedy. Can you imagine seeing her on the news? Giving a piece of her mind?
Not really, shes far too reserved for theatrics I would say.
Why would she care?
She already mentioned that the titanic is the grave of her father and many others and it should be left alone.
@@michaelbailey8729 She'd probably say "It seems to me this current event is of the same foolishness as the Titanic itself."
I am so genuinely curious why you think this. Cause it sounds pretty dumb in my head no offense to you. That is not her problem and doesn't relate?
I’m glad she got to tell this story of what she remembered. It was tragic and horrible for what all the people on the titanic witnessed rest their souls❤️🙏
Eva hart has been blessed❤️
💕🙏🏻🌟
i dont think i'll ever stop being fascinated, horrified, and enchanted all at the same time by the Titanic
Eva was one of two ladies than knew what was happening first hand. Excellent as usual she was with the accounting.
after the submarine incident i’ve been down a rabbit hole
She is right we are still interested in the titanic
What a great, loving father.
She has a very interesting story voice 😁😃

I didn't take it that you were referring to her 'accent" as the "reply" below suggested. She has a wonderful "story voice" that draws the listener in and informs with interest!
Educated British
story voice?
@@JoeVington basically the tones of her voice while saying certain parts
Heartbreak. Eva's analysis was spot on, and absolutely heartbreaking. Had they only had enough lifeboats...
Thank G-d she survived. This is the best version I've yet to hear told of the Titanic horror. She had an amazing father thats for sure! who made certain that she and his wife were safe. He had to have been very bright and his wife knew it because this persons mother did not have to ask a single question which resulted in precious time saved so that the woman we see in this video survived (as she stated so well). I honestly believe that no matter who / what it is that your personal beliefs are of who's up there (i.e. G-d, etc.) .. that her dad is the definition of what we should all strive to be or ultimately become in this world while we're here. What an amazing gift this lady is to us so that we can hear and see as she tells this very personal life event to us. Thank you also to the person who took the time to upload the video.
Amen 🙏🏻🕊️🙏🏻🕊️🙏🏻
God bless her heart and soul forevermore. What a wonderful woman. :)
Her Father was a very brave man, he did what was necessary to ensure his family's survival knowing he was likely doomed.
Rest in Peace, Miss Hart. A wonderful lady. How I wished I could have met you. Enjoy yourself up there in Heaven.
It’s been 84 years but she remembers everything
Interview was in 1990, so it would've been 78 actually, but nonetheless, just remarkable that she could still recall everything in great detail.
@@interstate3551actually this was in 1992 and she was 87 by this time even if it was in 1990 she would have been 85 then because she died in 1996 at the age of 91
They went through surviving the titanic, world war 1, world war 2 and still survived to live the tail
That is compelling stuff. I remember her speaking about how the boat split in two; I believe she called it "the horror."
It brings tears to my eyes to hear your story. I'm so sorry you and your family went through that.
I'm sure she would appreciate your comment if she were still alive to read it.
Wow! her last few statements still hold a lot of hurt and spoke volumes!
The pain you can see on her face when she speaks about her father is so sad 😢
The greatest love you can show is to lay down your life for your friends (John 15:13). What a brave, courageous and profoundly loving man her father was. She certainly knew what love was and meant. May they rest in peace.
Beautiful ❤
It's a simple choice as a loving parent. However, very hard to fathom the pain to let your children go for the last time.
Given the choice, my kids would go on to live over my own life every time.
Her father didn't get in because it was customary at that time to put women and children first. He didn't give up his place in the lifeboat for his wife and child, he did it for some other woman or child, because that was the social convention at the time.
A typo in your Scripture reference, Just FYI.

@@dawniedunkie then there was Titan in 2023.
How moving and sad. And such a concise memory of what happened.
It seems her father instantly understood the gravity of the incident. That saved her life.
She wasn't the last, but she was one of the last with actual memories of the disaster. The rest were too young at the time to remember.
I love this person and old people stories
You can just tell right up to her death years later she was so frustrated with what happened that night and the amount of people that could of been saved
She never got over the anger at the pointless waste of life and who can blame her. Abandoning rapidly sinking ships in stormy seas is fraught with danger but Titanic was sinking slowly on a sea as calm as a millpond and evacuation should have been seamlessly easy. She always said if her father had died because of the force of nature (sunk in a storm) she could have reconciled herself to it but to die because of complacency and sheer human folly was unforgivable
Her father telling them a white lie to keep them from spazzing out that he was not going to survive. Brave soul.
"keep them from spazzing out" how articulate😂😂
@@colin8770 hahahaha
Still just as traumatic if not more. It just makes them able to get in the boat and be calm for the moment. The moment they realize he's not following it'll be 10 times worse
@@chumon1992the point is he stayed strong for them so they wouldn’t feel guilt or fight about who gets to go in the boat etc and we’re able to stay calm in a dangerous situation
@mariahspapaya I see what you're saying but they absolutely WOULD feel guilt. Probably for the rest of their lives. Survivors guilt is a VERY real thing especially when it comes to family. I'm not saying what he did was wrong, what I'm saying is, psychologically in the long run it wouldn't make a difference.
The fact that we can be in the comfort of our homes and beds and listen to this beautiful lady speak about her recollection of what is an actual historical event is amazing. Sometimes I wish that were possible for other time periods and events. Imagine if we actually had video recording of Pliny the Elder talking about witnessing the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius.
True story: My grandfather and his sister were supposed to be on that voyage but were not allowed on. They failed some kind of physical. They were poor Hungarians and most likely would have gone down with the ship.
"Then it dawned on me that he wasn't coming that i wouldn't see him anymore" 🙁
The last living survivor of the Titanic, Millvina Dean, died at the age of 97 in Southampton after catching pneumonia. As a two-month-old baby, Dean was the youngest passenger on board the giant liner when it sank on its maiden voyage with the loss of more than 1,500 lives
It was such a special night for a special group of people. There is so much wrapped up in this one terrible day. I sometimes invest my entire mind into seeing and feeling everything about that evening, the ship, the people, the society, the communications and I'm never bored in the least ruminating on what could have been or should have been. It's an endless intrigue.
One thing i notice whoever survive after that tragedy. He or She lived a very long life mostly above 90
Not exactly some of the survivors died soon after the tragedy. I've been looking at quite a lot of videos about the sinking there were tons of survivors who lived shortly meeting unfortunate events like car hitting, food poisoning, being sick with a disease, suicides, etc.
you can say they instead of he or she, it's much easier, i promise.
@@damndorothea stop with your pronoun bs.
The chef who got drunk and rode the stern into the water survived and went on to be a chef on other cruise lines before passing on in 1956
Here before this blows up
RIP Eva She gave us info She Tried ;(
God bless her for sharing it helps furture generations to help understand what happen.
what was most shitty during the sinking was lifeboat 1 only deployed with 12 people, when it’s capacity’s maximum was 70 people or more if they squish in a few extra. the people on that boat were 7 crewmen’s and 5 first class passengers Most of the occupants of Boat 1 were men, despite Captain Smith's call for "women and children first.", they had enough room for 58 more people.
Survivor Margaret Brown described the scene In a New York Time interview.
“ The whole thing was so formal that it was difficult for anyone to realise it was a tragedy. Men and women stood in little groups and talked. Some laughed as the boats went over the side. All the time the band was playing...I can see the men up on deck tucking in the women and smiling. It was a strange night. It all seemed like a play, like a dream that was being executed for entertainment. It did not seem real. Men would say "After you" as they made some woman comfortable and stepped back.”
The titanic sank on the 15th April 1912 the rich people got saved first while the poor people died it was a disgrace and it is still the same today
Lifeboat 1 was an emergency boat. It’s capacity was only 40-70 was the capacity of the standard boats, 3-16. Both 1 and 2 were emergency boats, and the four collapsible also had smaller capacities. Still that’s nearly 30 more people who could’ve been saved.
@@karencunningham7009 lot of rich men died as well. The majority stood back to allow women and children on. Of course a few selfish cowards pushed to the front. In fact John Jacob Astor was one of the richest men in the world at the time and he died that night.
@@tonymorph3672 they did but the stats don't lie - higher % first class survived. your life is worth more if you've got more money.
@@moaningpheromones That's because third class passengers were trapped in the lower decks and couldn't get to the lifeboats in time.
She died in 96 just a year before the movie came out. so sad she didn't get to see it
I cannot imagine being a child and having to live through the fear of possibly dying in that frigid water or drowning. Also hearing the sounds of the boat breaking apart and just disappearing into the ocean as if it didn’t have life on it to carry them safely to America.
what a valuable recollection this little video is ❤

Its so interesting to hear the thought process of those that were on board before it sank.
She was brave, extremely brave. God preserve her, for she deserves it
Yeah but she was a burden for taxpayers.
@@azazello1784 How so. She and her family have probably contributed more in Tax than you and your family will in your miserable little lifetime.
@@azazello1784 How so?
@@bowtoyoursensei554 She lived till a very old age so I am sure she retired long ago.
Even now though it’s debatable whether they would’ve been able to save everybody with enough lifeboats, there were still two boats on the ship when it finally sunk so it took two hours to launch roughly 18 of 20 boats, add another 10 or 15 boats to that, yes they would’ve been there, but The whole process of getting them prepared, getting them hooked up, moving them out, lowering them down took so many men and so much time before they could move on to the next. Not because of negligence or anything, just the lifeboat technology at the time. Just a tragedy
I agree
Damn, I never knew that
Part of the reason it took so long was probably because they were trying to make sure women and children were in fact first. If they had enough lifeboats then that process could have gone a lot faster with less panic. Of course that's just speculation on my part though. There's no real way to know for sure.

Great explanation from this survivor! 💜💜
The first person that saw the iceberg was called Fedrick Fleet and when he survived more years passed and then his wife died and I think his son to then his brother evicted him then he fell into spiral depression and hanged himself in his brothers garden.
I only heard about this today. When the guy (Baldrick from Blackadder I think his name is Tony) said the man took his life and I saw the age he was from the gravestone I was shocked. Like 77. Poor gentleman.
Imagine seeing the things she's seen. Titanic, the Second World War and the Blitz. To live to tell the tale of both.
