John “Jack” Borland Thayer II (24th December 1894 – 18th September 1945). Jack, as he was known, was a home-bound American, travelling with his parents.
He was one of the survivors interviewed by Walter Lord for his iconic book, ‘A Night to Remember’ (1956), his account including his visit to Ismay’s cabin on the Carpathia in the immediate aftermath of the sinking.

Jack went on to marry Lois Cassatt, the couple had six children. When he lost his son Edward, a pilot, to WW2 and then his mother, he grew depressed and in 1945, committed suicide in the quiet of his car on a Philadelphia street.

The Allison Family: Hudson, Bess and their children, Helen Loraine (b.1909) and Hudson Trevor (b.1911).
The family travelled 1st-class, returning to America. Only Trevor (along with his maid, Alice Cleaver (above) who essentially saved his life), would survive.
Trevor, raised by his aunt and uncle, tragically died at 18 from food poisoning. He was buried next to his father, whose body was recovered after the sinking.

Dorothy Gibson (17th May 1889 – 17th February 1946). A celebrity actress of her day, Dorothy was returning to America from a European tour, accompanied by her mother, Pauline. Her film credits include Miss Masquerade, and The Lucky Holdup (pictured). She was also to become the star of the first of many films on the Titanic disaster, released in May 1912. Her ‘costume’ in the film was the dress she had worn the night of the sinking.

Eva Miriam Hart (31st January 1905 – 14th of February 1996). Despite being only 7 whilst on the Titanic, she (pictured with her parents, Benjamin and Esther) is one of the most well-known survivors, and I personally find her testimony fascinating.
Her father hoped to start afresh; her mother had bad feelings about this big ship. They had planned to sail on the Philadelphia – but the coal strike occurring at the time prevented this.
Eva’s father put her and her mother into a boat, having been told everyone would be “back on board for breakfast.”
Children were taken aboard Carpathia in sacks, Eva remembers. Interview here.
