Miss Marija Cacic, 30, an unmarried farmwoman from Kula, Croatia, boarded the Titanic at Southampton. To reach her destination of South Chicago, Illinois, she bought her third class ticket from the agent: Johann Isidor Büchel, Buchs for 864 (?) Swiss francs (ticket number 315084, £8 13s 3d).

Marija Cacic died in the sinking. Her body, if recovered, was never identified.

Marija Cacic je, prema popisu putnika, bila stara 30 godina kada se ukrcala na Titanic. Prema tome, roðena je 1882. Prema jednom drugom dokumentu, roðena je 1. svibnja 1875., dakle imala bi 37 godina. Živjela je u Širokoj Kuli, kucni broj 199, opæina Licki Osik, kotar Gospic. Bavila se ratarstvom. Nije bila udana i živjela je sa 62-godišnjom majkom Anom, ocem Martinom i 18-godišnjim bratom Grgom s kojim je krenula na put u Ameriku. Njena karta (serijski broj 315.084) koštala je nevjerojatnih 864 švicarskih franaka ili 886 austrougarskih kruna. Danas bi to iznosilo cak 19.855 kuna! Ta se uistinu šokantna suma ni na kakav nacin ne da objasniti jer ni jedan podatak ne upucuje na neki poseban status ili dodatne usluge. Putovala je istom putnickom agencijom na isto odredište kao i svi ostali njeni sumještani.
