Memories: 1
Enter a personal reminiscence or story.
My grandfather, Harold Seymour Hart, Margaret's son, told me this story many times when I was growing up:

Margaret was getting ready to emigrate with her children from Belfast to the US. Her husband William and eldest son James had already gone over to establish a home first. Margaret was going to book passage on the Titanic, which had been under construction down the road from their house, her husband had even gotten some work on its construction. One of her sisters talked her out of it, saying it was too grand of a ship for her alone with the children. She booked passage instead on the California. The family story that I grew up hearing, was that it was the famous "Ship that stood still," and didn't rescue the Titanic survivors, but when I became interested in genealogy, I checked the passenger lists thru the Ellis Island website, and discovered that they were on California, NOT The Californian. There were two ships sailing in the same direction at the same time. On their arrival in New York, they were met by the media and desperate family members looking for survivors.
