Survivors of the Titanic. The Titanic met her unfortunate fate in April of 1912 and while there were over 1,500 lost to the sea, there were a total of seven hundred and six survivors. If you mean people who were drenched up directly from the water, only 4. One of them was a Japanese passenger who tied himself to a wooden door. Another passenger, William Hoyt, who was drenched up died right afterward. The other two were victuall.

Eva Hart was 7 years old and bound for a new life in Canada when her father woke her in the middle of the night, carried her outside in a blanket and told her, 'Hold Mummy's hand and be a good girl.' It was the last thing he ever said to her, and she never saw him again. Later that night, wide awake and clinging to her mother in a lifeboat, the little girl watched as the Titanic rose straight up on her bow and plunged to the bottom of the sea, carrying her father and more than 1,500 other passengers and crew members to their deaths in the North Atlantic.As one of only 705 Titanic passengers who survived, Eva Hart never forgot what she had seen and heard that night. When she died on Wednesday at a hospice in London at the age of 91, she was regarded as last link of living memory with the maritime disaster that rocked the world on April 15, 1912.Of the eight remaining survivors, seven were too young at the time to know what was happening, according to Karen Kamuda of the Titanic Historical Society in Springfield, Mass., and one, nearing her 100th birthday, no longer remembers.

Returning to England, where her mother remarried, Miss Hart was plagued with nightmares until, after her mother's death when she was 23, she confronted her fears head on, returning to sea and locking herself in a cabin for four days until the nightmares went away.She held several jobs, becoming a professional singer in Australia, working as a Conservative Party organizer and serving as a magistrate in England. She described her life in a 1994 autobiography, 'In the Shadow of the Titanic.' Until recent years, Miss Hart chose not to talk about the disaster, but when she did open up, she was outspoken, denouncing efforts to salvage artifacts from the Titanic as 'grave robbing,' and excoriating White Star officials for failing to provide enough lifeboats.' If a ship is torpedoed, that's war,' she once said. 'If it strikes a rock in a storm, that's nature. But just to die because there weren't enough lifeboats, that's ridiculous.' Her anger was fueled by memory.'

I can remember the colors, the sounds, everything,' she said. 'The worst thing I can remember are the screams.' But even worse, she conceded, was the silence that followed.'

It seemed as if once everybody had gone, drowned, finished, the whole world was standing still. There was nothing, just this deathly, terrible silence in the dark night with the stars overhead.' Miss Hart, who never married, leaves no immediate family. The remaining Titanic survivors are Edith Brown Haisman, Barbara West and Millzina Dean, all of England; Michael Navratil and Louise Laroche of France, and Eleanor Shuman, Winnifred Tongerloo and Lillian Asplund of the United States.
