Witness Titanic - 05. Charles Lightoller - 2nd Officer - PART ONE

05. Charles Lightoller - 2nd Officer - PART ONE

07/16/24 • 39 min

This week's witness is the most questioned of the 712 survivors. 2nd Officer Charles Lightoller remembers the sea trials, the delivery to Southampton, last-minute preparations and, of course, that fateful Sunday... but how truthful his memories are is cause for discussion!
Welcome to WITNESS TITANIC, a new podcast where we interview witnesses of the infamous Titanic disaster including modern experts, enthusiasts and even the survivors of the sinking. Like the century-old inquiries that came before us, we may never fully determine what really happened on that cold April night but you may be surprised to find how close our efforts will bring us to Titanic herself...

"LIVE" FROM ABOVE TITANIC

Hello from the Atlantic! No new episode this week so I recorded this quick mini-sode from the research vessel of Titanic Expedition 2024 to give you an idea of what it's like at 41.43 N 49.56 W. Things are going well out here, we are terribly busy but I'm doing my best to stay present and keep Witness Titanic episodes coming!
Next week we will continue the investigation with the conclusion of Officer Lightoller's testimony.
Full episodes recorded from the expedition begin with episode 09!
