John Edward Hart (February 24, 1870-January 15, 1954) was a third class steward aboard RMS Titanic in James Cameron's film, Titanic. He worked in the third class decks.
During the sinking he spent most of his time preparing the passengers of the lower class to evacuate during the sinking. He quickly instructed the passengers to get their lifebelts on, quite quickly and with little information in contrast to the first class stewards who informed their passengers more and prepared then adequately.
While escorting some passengers, he observed Rose DeWitt Bukater and Jack Dawson breaking down a door. Unaware of the nature of the situation, he confronted them as they walked away, demanding they pay for the damage only to be yelled "Shut up!" by the pair. This stunned him in to a scared stare, resulting in him not pursuing them further. He survived the sinking on Lifeboat 15, last seen sitting in a chair on RMS Carpathia with other survivors.
