This extract from a 1983 Today programme hears from Eva Hart, a survivor of the Titanic. She explains how her mother's premonitions of disaster kept her awake at night, which was how she and her daughter were able to escape in one of the first lifeboats from the ill-fated ship. She also gives her reactions to the news that the remains of the Titanic have been found and photographed.
Eva Hart was one of the last survivors from the Titanic. Interviewed many times by the BBC, she once claimed that the only faithful representation of the tragedy was Roy Ward Baker's 1958 film A Night to Remember. She died in 1996, aged 91.
