Passenger Superstitions

Many passengers on board were cautious and had bad feelings about the ship. Eva Hart's mother stayed up all night expecting something to happen yet slept during the day. When Molly Brown had a maid put a white star line symbol in her hat and just before she walked out, it fell out of her hat and it broke. After Jack Thayer saw a near collision with another ship called the New York, a man behind him shook his head saying "That's a bad omen". Emily Ryerson wouldn't come out of her cabin fearing something terrible would happen and was coaxed out of her room only twice. There was also one woman who's name I cannot place. She was a successful author and on the TITANIC's last sunset, she went to the bow and felt all this power and might of the ship and then it was gone in an instant and she felt somewhat dark inside. It was easy to think that the TITANIC was safe and secure but some had other ideas. There are probably more stories untold that will remain untold forever but the ones told of today are to be remembered and not forgotten at any time.
