It was twenty minutes to midnight on Sunday 14 April, when Jack Thayer felt the Titanic lurch to port, a motion followed by the slightest of shocks. Seven-year-old Eva Hart barely noticed anything was wrong. For Stoker Fred Barrett, shovelling coal down below, it was somewhat different; the side of the ship where he was working caved in. For the next nine hours, Jack, Eva & Fred faced death & survived. They lived, along with just over 700 others picked up by 08.30 the next morning. Over 1500 people did not. This is the story of Jack, Eva, Fred & over a hundred others of those who survived & either wrote their experiences down or appeared before the major enquiries held subsequently.
