Siviae, Husein, 40, married, Bakiae, destination Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. (Sometimes listed as âEURoeHusen SivicâEUR.) The bodies of the above passengers from Bosnia, even if recovered, were never identified. CROATIAN SURVIVORS Ivan Jal1evac, age 29, from Topolovac. He was married to Kata, who stayed behind in his native village. He was on his way to New York, NY. After he was rescued, however, he traveled to Galesburg, Illinois, where he had a friend, Franjo Karun. Later, he returned to Croatia and died in 1945, according to some sources. Nikola Luliae was born on February 24, 1883 in the village of Konjsko Brdo, Lika, Croatia. In 1902, while serving in the Austrian Army, he deserted and immigrated to America. He went to Chisholm, Minnesota and worked as a miner in the âEURoeAlpena MineâEUR. In autumn 1911, he came back to Croatia for half a year to visit his family. At this time, he was already married for the second time. His second wife, Marta, and his two children lived in Croatia at the time. When it was time to go back to America he served as an unofficial companion to other immigrants who paid his ticket. He helped them with translation and advised them of what to expect during the voyage and after their arrival in America. He boarded the Titanic at Southampton and was on the way to Minnesota. Mr Lulic survived the sinking and was rescued by the Carpathia. After arriving in New York, Luliae went to his uncle Ross Rosiniae at 118 Tocence (Torrence?) Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. His Americanized name was âEURoeNicola LulichâEUR. After the First World War, Luliae returned to Croatia and earned his living as a farmer, but sometimes he also worked in France as a seasonal worker between the two World Wars. His wife Marta died long before he did, so he alone had to look after the children of his two marriages. In his older days, he secluded himself more and more from his fellow villagers of Konjsko Brdo. Nikola Luliae died in 1962 in Peru1iae, at the age of 79, in the house of his youngest daughter Mara. (Milan Gnjatoviae, in his poem Potonuaee broda Titanica – Narodna amerieka Pjesmarica. St. Louis: Ivan Sikoean, 1913, lists his name as Nikola Lukiae, but it should have been Luliae.) Mara Osman, age 31, married, from Vagovina, Croatia, boarded the Titanic at Southampton and she was going to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She was rescued by the Carpathia. After arriving in New York (June 18, 1912), she went to her sister, Mrs. Rudolph Paulovich, at Steelton, Pennsylvania. (The Immigration Officer incorrectly lists her as single woman and her nationality as Polish. She is also listed sometimes as âEURoeMaria OsmanâEUR. Gnjatoviae, in his above mentioned poem, lists her as one of the three Croatian survivors.) Some sources tell us that she was born in 1881 and she married Mi1ko Banski in 1904. They had a son, Franjo. (Other sources state that they had three sons.) Whatever the case, it seems that she left her husband and went to America, traveling under her maiden name, Osman. Later, her son Franjo joined her in the US and he died in California in 1980. Mara eventually remarried and, supposedly, she died in Wisconsin in 1938. Details about her life in America are not know to us.

| Â Croatian stories: The Titanic and the Carpathia âEUR” survival, rescue and tragedy Ina Vukic April 15 2012 âEUR” the world remembers those who died and those who survived when the Titanic sank 100 years ago. From croatiantimes.com: âEUR~Out of the 30 Croatians who were heading for America in search of a better life, only 3 survived the tragedy. Nikola Lulic, Ivan Jalsevac and Mara Osman managed to leave the ship just under two hours before it sank. Â âEURMy father said Nikola completely changed and that the Titanic tragedy left its mark,âEUR said Mile Lulic, a relative of Titanic survivor Nikola Lulic to Croatian daily newspaper 24sata. All three survivors, who found it difficult to cope with the stress after the ordeal, were believed to have jumped from the sinking Titanic into the water, although it was unclear wether or not lifeboats were waiting or they had to wait in the freezing waters for a rescue boat. Jalsevac and Lulic eventually returned to Croatia but Osman managed to get to America and stayed there for the remainder of her lifeâEUR(TM). Many passengers on the ship were those from European countries fleeing oppression and/or poverty in search of a better life in âEURoeAmericaâEUR. Croatians among them fled the life within the Austro-Hungarian Empire âEUR” they set towards realising their personal âEURoeAmerican dreamâEUR. And the story of TitanicâEUR(TM)s sinking reanimates stories of tragedy, but also the story of the significant differences between the rich and the poor. These stories about the Titanic include the stories about 30 Croatian passengers. Most of the Croatians, not having the means to pay for their passage to a âEURoebetter life in America and CanadaâEUR, worked on the Titanic as stokers (21 of them). A smaller number came on board as passengers âEUR” third class, together with British, Irish, Scandinavian Russian, Bulgarian âEUR| âEURoeOne of them was Ivan Jalsevac from Topolovac, near the town of Sisak. He managed to escape the jaws of the Big Blue. His family still keeps written details of his memory on that fatal night. Ivan, who always spoke about that night to his family, died in 1945. The disaster affected his life as he witnessed the death of his friends, visions which haunted him for life. His nephew told us the stories: âEURoeMy uncle told me that a strong crash awakened him. That was the moment when the Titanic hit the iceberg. Everyone was shocked at first, but after a few minutes, when the passengers and crew realised what had happened, panic ran rampant. Passengers, suddenly facing the possibility of ending their lives in the cold Atlantic Ocean, were petrified. The lower deck passengers were not allowed to come out. The shipâEUR(TM)s staff locked all the exits from the lower decks. There was no room for lower class passengers to be saved. They were crossed out automatically for a rescue. A terrible noise was heard from the deck of the ship and the occasional gun shot, probably to make some order among the panic stricken mass. âEURoeMy uncle and two of his friends, Drazen and Stankovic, tried to save as many women and children as possible. That was their last meeting alive. Ivan Jalsevac never saw his friends again. He managed to escape through to the main deck and to jump into the cold Atlantic. That was his only chance out alive. In the cold ocean, next to the sinking Titanic was one of the lifeboats full of women and children. He reached for it and thankfully the women helped and took him into the boat because the sailors showed no interest in saving him. âEUR~They managed to paddle to the âEUR~CarpathiaâEUR(TM) steam boat that took on most of the survivors of the catastrophe. There were twenty Croat sailors from Dalmatia working on the Carpathia. âEUR~The White Star Line Company, which owned the Titanic, decorated survivors and presented them an ironic award âEUR” free life passes to travel with the company. The ones who were reimbursed were mostly the rich and second class, excluding the third class âEUR” including CroatsâEUR(TM).âEUR The Croatians on the Titanic were: Ivan Stankovic, Ivan Jalsevic, Josip Drazenovic, Franjo and Ana Korum, Ivan Markun, Ljudevit Cop, Branko Dakic, Ivan Bartoli, Mirko Dika, Stevo Pavlovic, Matilda Petrinac, Milan Karasin, Stevan Turcin, Ciro Rekic, Marija Cacic, Janko Vuk, Ivan Strimic, Petar Calic, Manda Calic, Tomo Pakrevic, Tomo Uzelac, Luka Oreskovic, Mate Pokrajac, Marija Oreskovic, and Janko and Mile Smiljanic. Carpathia was the only ship to come to TitanicâEUR(TM)s passengers and crew rescue. At the time of TitanicâEUR(TM)s sinking Carpathia was on its regular route New York âEUR” Rijeka (Croatia). There were 76 Croatians working as crew on the Carpathia âEUR” the hero ship. Thanks to one of them, Josip Car, who pulled the Titanic survivors onto the Carpathia and tried to keep them warm with blankets, that Croatia today possesses one of only five life jackets from Titanic whose origin is unquestionable. Car kept as a memento one life jacket when the Titanic survivors disembarked and the life jackets lay abandoned on CarpathiaâEUR(TM)s deck. He brought the life jacket to Rijeka and in 1938 gifted it to Rijeka Museum and the Museum kept it in its storage, forgotten. Few years ago Slobodan Novakovic and his Swiss colleague Ginter Bablem, studying the Titanic tragedy located the life jacket in Rijeka and after its restoration placed it as an exhibit in the Museum.
