Steward 3 was a Third Class Steward in the 1997 Film Titanic. He is played by Kevin Owers.

Plot[]

His first appearance is entering the cabin of the Cartmell family by turning on the lights and telling them to put on their lifejackets.

He then appears on top of a stairwell behind a locked gate (with some other crewmembers) trying to reassure passengers and to get more Steerage passengers to put on their lifejackets. He then tells one of them to get help.

The final appearance of Steward 3 is with Tommy Ryan who is telling them to open the gates and that the Titanic is sinking. Steward 3 orders the crowd to bring forth the women in the crowd and has a crewman to unlock the gates. As women begin to go past the gates, the male passengers surge forward and are beating back as the gate is shut. Steward 3 takes out a gun and orders the gate to be locked. Tommy runs up to the gate and yells at Steward 3: "For God sake man, there are women and children down here! Let us out so we can have a chance!" leaving him be with an unapproving look as he went back down to find another way out.

Steward 3 is confirmed to have died in the sinking, by Kevin Owers interview about his character.

Historical accuracy[]

It is unlikely that a real steward would have locked the gates below decks. The incidents described by survivors in Third Class would have happened at the aft end of the aft well deck.
