Wallace Henry Hartley (2 June 1878 – 15 April 1912) was an English violinist and bandleader on the RMS Titanic on its maiden voyage. He became famous for leading the eight member band as the ship sank on 15 April 1912. He died in the sinking.
After the Titanic hit an iceberg and began to sink, Hartley and his fellow band members started playing music to help keep the passengers calm as the crew loaded the lifeboats. Many of the survivors said that he and the band continued to play until the very end. None of the band members survived the sinking, and the story of them playing to the end became a popular legend. One survivor who clambered aboard ’Collapsible A’ claimed to have seen Hartley and his band standing on the boat deck, near the entrance to the grand staircase, near the base of the second funnel. He went on to say that he saw three of them washed off while the other five held on to the railing on top the Grand Staircase’s deckhouse, only to be dragged down with the bow, as Hartley exclaimed, “Gentlemen, I bid you farewell!“ A newspaper at the time reported “the part played by the orchestra on board the Titanic in her last dreadful moments will rank among the noblest in the annals of heroism at sea.“
Though the final song played by the band is unknown, “Nearer, My God, to Thee“ has gained popular acceptance. Former bandmates claimed that Hartley had said he would play either “Nearer, My God, to Thee“ or “O God, Our Help in Ages Past“ if he were ever on a sinking ship, but Walter Lord’s book A Night to Remember (1955) popularised wireless officer Harold Bride’s account of hearing the song “Autumn“. If it were “Nearer, My God, to Thee“, it is uncertain which version Hartley used. His father used the “Propior Deo“ version, by Arthur Sullivan, at church, and his family were certain that he would have used that version,[4] It is this tune’s opening notes that appear on Hartley’s memorial[5] and that were played at his funeral.[4]
After the sinking Edit
Hartley’s body was recovered by the Mackay–Bennett almost two weeks after the sinking. Several press reports confirmed that Wallace was found “fully dressed with his music case strapped to his body“.[6]
He was transferred to the Arabic and returned to England. Hartley’s father Albion met the ship at Liverpool and brought his son’s body back to his home town of Colne, Lancashire. The funeral took place on 18 May 1912. One thousand people attended Hartley’s funeral, while an estimated 30,000 - 40,000 lined the route of his funeral procession.[3]
Hartley is buried in the Keighley Road cemetery, Colne, where a 10 feet (3.0 m) high headstone, containing a carved violin at its base, was erected in his honour.
A memorial to Hartley, topped by his bust, was erected in 1915 outside what was then the town library. The memorial is inscribed: Wallace Hartley
Bandmaster of the RMS Titanic who perished in the foundering of that vessel, April 15th 1912. Erected by voluntary contributions to commemorate the heroism of a native of this town.
This was later moved slightly to make way for the World War One memorial. Hartley’s large Victorian terraced house in West Park Street, Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, bears a blue plaque to remind passers-by that this was the bandleader’s home.[3]
In 2001, Hartley’s name was still being used when naming new streets and housing in the town of Colne. In 2008, the pub chain J D Wetherspoon named a newly opened pub, (the building having been the long-standing King’s Head Hotel up until the mid-1990s),[7] in Colne after the bandleader.[8]
