Hi
I tend to remember reading some years back that Eva Hart claimed to have met captain smith and that he remarked on a doll she had ? I wonder if I am imagining reading this ? I have looked for some information about this on ET but have found nothing. Does anyone know about this story that could enlighten me on the details ? I also read - I think on ET someone saying Eva's memory of the Titanic seemed to get better as the years went by...
Did she also not make friends with a black staffordshire bull terrier while onboard the Titanic ? I did meet her 2 times in 1994 and 1995 at a BTS convention but never thought of asking any questions - only got her to sign my poster and book, I suppose I did not want to bother her..
If she did indeed meet captain Smith as she claims ( if she did!) it does seem a tiny bit far-fetched.... Also in a lot of interviews I have read with her she never mentions this meeting... If this is indeed true then you would think it would be one of the first things she would talk about rather than not mention it in so many interviews... Also she said she watched the Titanic sink and never closed her eyes - but unfortunately she does not (like so many survivor accounts I have read ) describe what she saw only that she watched it sink, break in two and that it was like the final moment scenes in A Night To Remember.... In other words as soon as she gets to the interesting bit of the sinking and break up she seems to skip and go onto the awful silence that followed - pitty. That said she was only 7 hence you can't expect to much
What do you guys think ? Did her memories seem to get better of the Titanic as the years went by ? Did she meet captain Smith ? Sure I read she did but could be very wrong!
Thanks
Jon.
