The Scotland Road Steward was a Third Class steward in the 1997 Film Titanic. He was portrayed by Brendan Connolly.
Although he is best known for his last appearance in Scotland Road, he also appeared in an earlier scene.
Biography[]
He helped some Third Class Passengers onto the ship at Southampton.
He woke up in the Steward's bunks with 6 others and saw water around his feet. He got dressed and started to do his duty.
Just before Captain Smith handed the distress position to Jack Phillips, the Scotland Road steward and another unnamed steward woke up steerage passengers, with the Scotland Road steward constantly shouting "put your lifebelts on!"
Later, when Jack and Rose were fleeing from the rushing water, Jack broke through a door and they found themselves on Scotland Road. The steward, who was guiding steerage passengers to the lifeboats, berated them for damaging White Star Line property and said they'd have to pay for the door, but was swiftly silenced by Jack and Rose.
| Scotland Road Steward: Hey! What do you think you're doing? You'll have to pay for that, you know! That's White Star Line property!

The steward bailed away. In the EXTENDED Irish Hospitality scene he watches Tommy Ryan burst open a gate screaming "This is Irish Hospitality for ye!" and ran after him for damaging White Star Line property.
A long time later, he watched a wave of water surge at him. He was immediately carried away and drowned.
Historical accuracy[]
First Class passenger Richard Norris Williams observed a steward attempting to open the door of a cabin from which a panicking passenger was trapped behind. Williams put his shoulder to the door and broke in. The steward threatened to report him for damaging White Star Line property. This inspired a scene in A Night to Remember where a steward tried to hold back a group of passengers who were breaking a gate to enter First Class. This scene in turn inspired the Scotland Road Steward scene.
It's often been speculated that this steward is supposed to be John Edward Hart, William Denton Cox or Albert Victor Pearcey, as the steward is seen guiding steerage passengers through the ship, which these 3 stewards are known for.
