Biography

Lady Georgiana is first seen being bailed out of prison by her father. She then joins her parents on a train.

When going for dinner, the Manton's are welcomed by Captain Smith, John Jacob Astor and Madeleine Astor. Dorothy Gibson joins them and they shake hands. The Wideners also join them, but their son Harry keeps staring at Georgiana. Finally, the Duff-Gordon's also join them, with Mrs. Rushton complaining about their locked-up "darling", then Joseph Rushton explains she refers to their Pekinese.

At dinner, Harry Widener takes a seat next to Georgiana at the Captain's table. Lady Manton already notices the romance growing between them. Paolo Sandrini serves the table and flirtatiously winks to Georgiana.

After dinner, they head to the reception, where the band plays "Autumn" on Georgiana's request. Harry nods to Lord Manton, who nods back, meaning he allows it. Harry asks her to dance, which she accepts. Harry starts to dance with Georgiana and talk while being guarded by the Mantons.

Jack Thayer crashes the party and takes Georgiana from Harry. Lady Manton seems to be worried about her.

That Sunday, Captain Smith hosts a church meeting with passengers of all classes. Hugh has a brief conversation while a few steerage passengers join in. After the meeting, Hugh invites the Batleys for tea at 4. Louisa is not too pleased with her husband's request, but eventualy she agrees. Georgiana and Harry are also present at the meeting and they join in the conversation.

Harry takes Georgiana on an evening stroll before dinner. They encounter the Allison family, and Alice behaves overprotective to Georgiana about Trevor.

The family dines at Gatti's restaurant with Harry Widener, Dorothy Gibson, Captain Smith, the Astor's and others. Georgiana and Harry are clearly developing feelings for each other.

After dinner, Harry and Georgiana go for another stroll. He gives his coat to her after he sees her shiver. He confesses to her and they share a kiss.

After the iceberg collision, Georgiana joins the Mantons in her cabin, she's already wearing a lifejacket. The group then heads out to Second Class to avoid the masses in First Class. They pass the Purser's Office, where loads of passengers ask for their jewelry. Lady Manton is relieved she kept her jewels with her. Suddenly the Batleys, who found their way up to First Class, find the Mantons, and Muriel, heap abuses on Lady Manton about her 'aristocratic' behavior. Lord Manton tries to make her shut up, but his efforts are in vain and John Batley has to push her wife away.

Once outside, The Mantons approach the falls. Hugh sees a lifeboat getting lowered away which is only 30% filled and stops it, but the boat can't be brought back. At this moment, Barnes notices Watson is missing. Louisa says she's back to the cabin to get her book, making Barnes rush away, swearing.

Hugh then finds Lightoller launching a boat, but the boat's already full and Lightoller directs Hugh to the other side.

The group descends to A Deck, where they find the orchestra again, and once again they play "Autumn" for Georgiana. Back on the Boat Deck, Hugh tries to speak with his wife about what Muriel said, but Louisa cuts him off. Georgiana moves on to the lifeboat, where she sees Alice Cleaver with Trevor Allison, without the rest of the Allison family. Dorothy Gibson and (who has a brandy bottle) her mother also rush into another lifeboat, making Louisa refuse to enter. Georgiana is on the verge of entering when she bails back to her father. Harry Widener finds her again, his mother is already in a lifeboat.

The Manton's, their servants and Harry then go to another lifeboat, once again Lightoller wants to launch an underfilled boat, afraid they might split. Hugh confronts him with the dilemma of the men who have to be forced to swim to the boats which are rowing away, afraid of the suction when she goes down.

The group then find themselves at a lifeboat with Third Class passengers, who were brought to the deck by Steward Hart. Suddenly, Mary Maloney rushes to the scene with her children and gets trampled. Hugh helps her to get up, only to get held back by her jealous husband. Mary calms him and Hugh takes little Sean to the lifeboat. Thanks to Hugh's loud orders, they make it to the boat, only to be held back again, this time by First Officer Murdoch. Murdoch claims the boat is already full, but Hugh manages to order Murdoch to allow the Maloney's in. Jim thanks Hugh, who returns to his family. 

At around 2:00 A.M., the Manton's are still not safe. They suddenly encounter Harry, who saw his mother away. He guides the Manton's to a collapsible lifeboat. At a moment, Barnes hesitates a second and has some time alone with Watson.

Georgiana and Watson enter the collapsible, but Louisa doesn't. Georgiana, Harry and Bruce Ismay urge Louisa to save herself and leave Hugh behind. Eventually, Louisa promises to take care of both of Hugh's daughters and enters the lifeboat. Lowe and Ismay enter the boat too.

Louisa and Georgiana watch Titanic sink. They urge Lowe to go back to the site and look for Hugh and Harry. Lowe says they'll form a pontoon to head back, which is what happens. It takes loner than expected, and when the lifeboat returns to the disaster site, most swimmers are dead. They only come back with three swimmers, including a dead Paolo Sandrini and an unconscious Hugh. He is revived with brandy brought by Dorothy.
