05. Charles Lightoller - 2nd Officer - PART ONE

This week's witness is the most questioned of Titanic's 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 are his memories? Let's discuss!

NOTICE:

• I'm told I have an odd way of saying the 2nd Officer's last name. I attempt to break this habit in later episodes!
• Passenger Ella White and author Gunter Babler are mentioned in this episode. Their testimony can be heard in episodes 12 and 34 respectively.
