Trivia[]
- Lucy is seems to be based on Second Class stewardess Lucy Snape, one of the only three female crew members aboard the Titanic who did not survive the sinking.
- She may also be inspired by real-life Titanic stewardess Violet Constance Jessop, who was given the same instructions (to set a good example for non-English speaking passengers). However, Jessop survived the sinking, and would go on to survive the sinking of Titanic's sister ship, HMHS Britannic.
- Another possible candidate is Annie Robinson, who is one of the better known stewardesses and was also told specifically by Andrews to put on the lifebelt so that passengers could see it.
