Patrick Ryan (1882? - April 15th, 1912) was a Third Class passenger of the Titanic. He died in the sinking. James Cameron invented a character named Tommy Ryan for his 1997 Film Titanic, and Tommy appears to be based on him. He was the son of Thomas Ryan (b. 1835), a farmer, and Ellen O'Mahoney (b. 1845) and he grew up in a bi-lingual Roman Catholic household. His known siblings were: Ellen (b. 1876), Johanna (b. 1878), Michael (b. 1881), Hanoria (b. 1885), Thomas (b. 1887) and James (b. 1889).
