When he signed-on to the ''Titanic'' April 4<sup>th</sup>, 1912; he gave his address as 1 Foundry Lane ([[Southampton]]). This house, in the district of Shirley, bore the name 'Aberdeen'. As a third class steward he received monthly wages of £3, 15s.
   
 
On the evening of April 14<sup>th</sup>, Hart was sleeping in his bunk, which was below the glory hole on [[E Deck]], and next to the [[Third Class Dining Room]], when he was awakened by a fellow crew member: there had been an accident. Hart shared his quarters with 37 other third class stewards, none of them thought it was serious, and Hart went to sleep.

Eventually, [[James William Kieran|Chief Third Class Steward Kiernan]] came along and gave instructions to Hart: "Go along to your rooms and get your people about." Hart was responsible for about 58 third class passengers in Section K and M, located on E Deck. Kieran ordered him to "Get your people roused up and get lifebelts placed upon them; see that they have lifebelts on them." Hart went around and woke up the passengers under his charge, and helped them put on their lifebelts. After gathering them into a group in the hallway, Hart awaited orders.
On the evening of 14 April, Hart was sleeping in his bunk, which was below the glory hole on[[ E Deck]], and next to the [[Third Class Dining Room]], when he was awakened by the collision with the iceberg. Hart shared his quarters with 38 other third class stewards. Although they knew there had been an accident, Hart claimed that none of his fellow stewards knew that the situation was serious.
 
   
 
At 12:50, 45 minutes after the collision, Hart received instructions to pass the women and children up to the [[Boat Deck]]. At first, he took a group of 20-30 women and children up to the boat deck. Although there were normally locked barriers and gates blocking the way, which were required by international immigration laws to 'prevent the spread of infectious diseases,' Hart testified in the British Inquiry that all the gates had been opened the time he took his passengers up to the Boat Deck.

In order to get to the Boat deck, Hart lead the third class passengers through an alleyway, up stairs to [[C Deck]], up onto the open [[Aft Well Deck|aft well deck]], and then up to the boat deck. Hart brought his group to the deck near [[Lifeboat 8]] and left them there to go back down. In the end, nobody of Hart's group entered Lifeboat 8, and it was lowered away with only First Class passengers, [[Alfred George Crawford|one steward]] and two seamen.

Upon returning below, Hart told the remainder of the third class passengers in his care to follow him, and then lead them up to the boat deck and into[[ lifeboat 15]]. Although Hart had seen the 58 passengers in his charge to safety, he was prepared to head back below for more passengers, when a group of men began rushing Lifeboat 15.

After leaving the merchant marine service Edward moved to live in Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia where he worked as a chief storekeeper for the newly formed Rhodesian Railway.

In about 1930 he returned to England and came to the South West where he met Florence May Cann of Newton Poppleford, Devon. Her father, John Cann worked on the railway there and this may explain how he came to meet Florence, he himself having had connections with the railway. They were subsequently married in 1932 (either in Newton Poppleford or Exeter) and moved to live in the South Devon coastal town of Paignton. They initially rented a flat in Old Torquay Road. It was here that their son, John Christopher Murdoch Hart was born in 1934. Shortly afterward they moved close-by to a house at 42 Old Torquay Road which remained in family possession until the early 1970's.

John Edward Hart (1880 - January 15th, 1954) was a Third Class steward on the Titanic. He is known for bringing two large groups of Third Class women and children to the lifeboats, while many others died. He himself survived the sinking in lifeboat 15.

Early life

John Hart was born in London in 1880, the son of John Hart (Innkeeper) and his wife Louisa.

As a young man he went to South Africa where he fought in the Boer War (1899-1902) serving as a trooper in the South African Light Force. Sometime after his return to England he signed-on as a crew member aboard the steamship New York.

Titanic

When he signed-on to the Titanic April 4th, 1912; he gave his address as 1 Foundry Lane (Southampton). This house, in the district of Shirley, bore the name 'Aberdeen'. As a third class steward he received monthly wages of £3, 15s.

On the evening of April 14th, Hart was sleeping in his bunk, which was below the glory hole on E Deck, and next to the Third Class Dining Room, when he was awakened by a fellow crew member: there had been an accident. Hart shared his quarters with 37 other third class stewards, none of them thought it was serious, and Hart went to sleep.

Eventually, Chief Third Class Steward Kiernan came along and gave instructions to Hart: "Go along to your rooms and get your people about." Hart was responsible for about 58 third class passengers in Section K and M, located on E Deck. Kieran ordered him to "Get your people roused up and get lifebelts placed upon them; see that they have lifebelts on them." Hart went around and woke up the passengers under his charge, and helped them put on their lifebelts. After gathering them into a group in the hallway, Hart awaited orders.

At 12:50, 45 minutes after the collision, Hart received instructions to pass the women and children up to the Boat Deck. At first, he took a group of 20-30 women and children up to the boat deck. Although there were normally locked barriers and gates blocking the way, which were required by international immigration laws to 'prevent the spread of infectious diseases,' Hart testified in the British Inquiry that all the gates had been opened the time he took his passengers up to the Boat Deck.

In order to get to the Boat deck, Hart lead the third class passengers through an alleyway, up stairs to C Deck, up onto the open aft well deck, and then up to the boat deck. Hart brought his group to the deck near Lifeboat 8 and left them there to go back down. In the end, nobody of Hart's group entered Lifeboat 8, and it was lowered away with only First Class passengers, one steward and two seamen.

Hart then returned below for the remaining passengers from his group. As he was heading back below, he saw fellow third class stewards William Denton Cox, and Albert Victor Pearcey leading another large group of third class passengers to the boat deck.

Upon returning below, Hart told the remainder of the third class passengers in his care to follow him, and then lead them up to the boat deck and into lifeboat 15. Although Hart had seen the 58 passengers in his charge to safety, he was prepared to head back below for more passengers, when a group of men began rushing Lifeboat 15. Hart helped hold the men back, and then First Officer Murdoch ordered him into the boat to help row.

On arriving in New York on board the Carpathia he stayed with friends in the city until his return passage to England on board the Celtic. He subsequently appeared as the 27th witness at the British Enquiry on May 16th, 1912 and answered a total of 492 questions.

Following the hearing sometime in the late May 1912 he signed-on to another White Star vessel Oceanic. According to his discharge book he signed off this ship in the July of 1912.

Later life

After leaving the merchant marine service Edward moved to live in Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia where he worked as a chief storekeeper for the newly formed Rhodesian Railway. By now he was married with two children. It is known that both sons were lost in a drowning accident on a lake in that country and at sometime following this his wife died.

In about 1930 he returned to England and came to the South West where he met Florence May Cann of Newton Poppleford, Devon. Her father, John Cann worked on the railway there and this may explain how he came to meet Florence, he himself having had connections with the railway. They were subsequently married in 1932 (either in Newton Poppleford or Exeter) and moved to live in the South Devon coastal town of Paignton. They initially rented a flat in Old Torquay Road. It was here that their son, John Christopher Murdoch Hart was born in 1934. Shortly afterward they moved close-by to a house at 42 Old Torquay Road which remained in family possession until the early 1970's.

John Edward Hart passed away at the house on January 15th, 1954 and was cremated four days later at the Efford Crematorium, Plymouth, Devon. A memorial plaque exists there with the inscription "In Loving Memory of John Edward Hart, died 15 January 1954, aged 69". His ashes were scattered in the garden of rest there.

His wife Florence remained at the house until moving to a Paignton nursing home (Ardeen Court) in early 1970 where she passed away in the October of 1972 aged 72. She was cremated at the Torquay Crematorium on October 20th.

Portrayals

Even though he played a key role in the rescue of many Third Class passengers, Hart isn't portrayed in most popular culture.

He was portrayed by Aubrey Morris. He is inaccurately portrayed as going down with the Titanic (as evident as being listed as a victim at the end credits). The film doesn't take much of his historically accurate heroic deeds, but he does tell Violet Constance Jessop to get the steerage on deck when she is trying to keep the passengers from panicking.
