Mme. Léontine Pauline Aubart (known as "Ninette"), 24, was born in Paris on 20 May 1887.
A Singer, she lived at 17 Rue Le Sueur, Paris, France. She boarded the Titanic at Cherbourg with her maid Emma Sägesser . She occupied cabin B-35 (ticket number PC 17477, £69 6s). Mme. Aubart (often misspelled Aubert) was the mistress of millionaire Benjamin Guggenheim who was also aboard. She and her maid Emma Sägesser were rescued, probably in lifeboat 9.
After coming aboard the Carpathia she sent a Marconigram to Paris on 18 April 1912:
Aubart 42 rue Monge Paris
Moi sauvee mais Ben perdu (I'm saved but Ben lost)
Some other Telegrams were not transmitted because the operators could not cope with the tremendous workload following the disaster.
