Faces of the Titanic: Bridget Delia Bradley saved - crippled by fear she tried to climb back aboard the sinking ship

She won $153 in a court case from the White Star Line for the personal affects she lost

When the film Titanic was shown in the local cinema that same decade, Delia LaSha was guest of honour. Her daughter Mary Higgins recounted: ‘Mom became very emotional during the movie and at times kept shaking her head as if to say it didn’t happen that way. If able to speak, I am sure she would have had many comments to make.’

Three years later she was dead, having outlived her husband by twenty-three years.

According to her death certificate, she was born on 10 January 1893, and passed away on 24 January 1956, aged 63.
