However this is a copy that belonged to C.H.Lightoller that has his signature on the front pastedown. Unless to firm order, books will only be held for three days. Charles Lightoller rose to prominence as he was the second office on R.M.S.Titanic and the most senior officer to survive the Titanic disaster. CONTENTS As an officer in charge of loading passengers into lifeboats, Lightoller not only enforced with utmost strictness the “women and children first” protocol; BOOKS OF THE MONTH 1 - 27 he also effectively extended it to mean “women and children only”. He had AUSTRALIA & THE PACIFIC 28 - 146 a handgun and threatened to shoot any man who tried to board a lifeboat. MISCELLANEOUS 147 - 424 Lightoller stayed until the last, was sucked against a grate and held until he was under water, but then was blown from the grate from a rush of warm air as a boiler exploded.

Lightoller later offered his resignation to the Superintendent of the White Star Line, who tore May 2016 it up, as he considered the prank to be a huge joke.
