[15] [20] In March 1911, while serving as first officer on the Oceanic, the ship's foremast was struck by lightning in a gale; Lightoller was standing on the bridge at the time, and narrowly avoided being seriously injured by falling splinters. While on the ship, with the bridge decking wet and the ship rolling, he liked to amuse himself "by ...
Sundowner is a motor yacht formerly owned by Charles Lightoller, former second officer of the RMS Titanic. She participated in the Dunkirk evacuation as one of the " little ships " as well as a number of commemorations of the event, and is now a museum ship at the Ramsgate Maritime Museum in Southern England.
Murdoch departed the bridge, and later relieved Lightoller at 10:00 p.m.. Lightoller conveyed to Murdoch the ship's course and the ice field that they were approaching, and that they expected to be in the vicinity of the ice somewhere around 11:00. Lightoller wished Murdoch "joy of his Watch" and departed the bridge. [4]
A Night to Remember is a 1955 non-fiction book by Walter Lord that tells the story of the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912. The book was hugely successful, and is still considered a definitive resource about the Titanic. Lord interviewed 63 survivors of the disaster and drew on books, memoirs, and articles that they had written.
As they left the cabin, Lightoller heard Wilde say "I am going to put on my life-belt." [13] By 1:40 a.m., most of the port lifeboats had been lowered, and Wilde moved to the starboard side. Steward James Johnston and Fourth Officer Boxhall saw Wilde putting women and children into lifeboat No. 2 and superintending the filling.
The Attorney General, Sir Rufus Isaacs, presented the inquiry with a list of 26 key questions to be answered. When news of the disaster reached the UK government the responsibility for initiating an inquiry lay with the Board of Trade, the organisation responsible for British maritime regulations and whose inspectors had certified Titanic as seaworthy before her maiden voyage.
John George "Jack" Phillips (11 April 1887 – 15 April 1912) was a British sailor and the senior wireless operator aboard the Titanic during her ill-fated maiden voyage in April 1912. Before the collision with the iceberg, Phillips and his assistant, Harold Bride , had acknowledged and passed along several ice warnings to the bridge.
Thank you. That's a start. Perhaps "members of Garry's crew" would be more accurate. But then if Lightoller was elsewhere, attending to the damage to his ship and "leaving the rescue work to others" - however disingenuous - then there isn't really a story. Well, not a Lightoller story, anyway. Hengistmate 22:37, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
