What Ever Happened to Robert

Whatever Happened to Robert Hichens by Phillip Gowan & Brian Meister When Bev Russell was just a little lad growing up in England, he considered it quite a treat to spend time with his grandmother. The clean and comfortable house on Shirley Road in Southampton had a quaint English charm about it and the matronly lady that lived there had a certain aura of dignity about her. And she was a wonderful cook. Often she was heard singing her favorite song, A Garden In Grenada, as she went about her daily chores. She was kind to her grandchildren and those that knew her hold onto their memories of the lady as precious keepsakes. In the days when the children used to visit her, their grandfather was still living too. But none of them ever met him, and no reason was ever offered as to why he never seemed to be around. In later years they would know the story of how he steered the great ship Titanic into an iceberg in 1912. But not one of them would ever know for sure what finally became of him. Until now, that is. Florence Mortimore was still a teenager when she met young Robert Hichens in early 1906. The spark between them was immediate and on a Tuesday night in the summertime, they took a leisurely stroll together prior to Robert’s going to sea. The next day, the young sailor made his interest known.

“I Thought It Was a Narrow Shave”
1 “I Thought it Was a Narrow Shave” A Revised Analysis of the Iceberg Encounter by Samuel Halpern At 10:00pm, ship’s time, Sunday night, April 14th 1912, lookouts Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee took their watch up in the crow’s nest, replacing lookouts George Symons and Archie Jewell. Before Symons and Jewell left the nest, they told Fleet and Lee to keep a sharp lookout for ice and growlers in particular, repeating the orders they received from the bridge earlier that night. According to Reginald Lee, it was about “nine or ten minutes” after seven bells were struck that a dark mass was spotted out on the water ahead of the ship.1 When asked how far ahead of the vessel was the iceberg, Lee responded by saying, “It might have been half a mile or more; it might have been less; I could not give you the distance in that peculiar light.” When that dark mass was finally identified, Frederick Fleet was quick to react. He said to Lee, “There is ice ahead,” and immediately reached up and grabbed the lanyard of the lookout bell above his head and struck it three times to signal the officer on the bridge below that an object was sighted ahead. He then left his place on the port side of the nest and went behind Lee on the starboard side of the nest to get to the loud- speaking telephone that connected the crow’s nest with a loud-speaking phone in the wheelhouse. As Fleet would later recall, “I asked them were they there, and they said yes.” They then asked, “What did you see?” to which Fleet replied, “Iceberg right ahead.” They then followed with, “Thank you.” The person that answered the phone in the wheelhouse was Sixth Officer James Moody.

Twenty Minutes to Midnight
Chapter III TWENTY MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT At 5 minutes to 9pm, Titanic time, on Sunday, the 14th of April 1912, Captain E. J. Smith came out onto the navigating bridge of Titanic to confer with his second officer, Charles Lightoller, who was Officer of the Watch at the time. Much of the discussion pertained to the expected approach of ice up ahead and the difficulty that they may encounter in seeing field ice and icebergs:1 “At five minutes to nine, when the Commander came on the bridge, he remarked that it was cold, and as far as I remember I said, ‘Yes, it is very cold, Sir. In fact,’ I said, ‘it is only one degree above freezing. I have sent word down to the carpenter and rung up the engine room and told them that it is freezing or will be during the night.’ We then commenced to speak about the weather. He said, ‘There is not much wind.’ I said, ‘No, it is a flat calm as a matter of fact.’ He repeated it; he said, ‘A flat calm.’ I said, ‘Yes, quite flat, there is no wind.’ I said something about it was rather a pity the breeze had not kept up whilst we were going through the ice region. Of course, my reason was obvious; he knew I meant the water ripples breaking on the base of the berg...I said, ‘It is a pity there is not a breeze,’ and we went on to discuss the weather. He was then getting his eyesight, you know, and he said, ‘Yes, it seems quite clear,’ and I said, ‘Yes, it is perfectly clear.’ It was a beautiful night, there was not a cloud in the sky.

CHRONOLOGY of EVENTS with REFERENCES and NOTES Revised: 07 July 2018
CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS WITH REFERENCES AND NOTES Revised: 07 July 2018 This chronology reflects the order of events pertaining to the maiden voyage of Titanic. It is the most comprehensive and extensively referenced chronology of Titanic’s maiden voyage ever assembled, and first appeared in: Samuel Halpern, et al., Report Into the Loss of the SS Titanic – A Centennial Reappraisal, The History Press, 2011. It is primarily based upon evidence that comes from survivor accounts as given in sworn testimony, affidavits, letters, and other credible sources. The sources for the events included in this chronology are listed alongside each set grouped under a specified time. There is also a set of notes that explain how certain event times were derived, or offer additional pertinent information. In some cases, reference is made to specific articles and other publications where more details and in-depth explanations can be found. For most of the wireless messages shown, reliance was heavily placed on primary sources such as wireless logs or wireless station office forms that are available, rather than using some previously compiled list. In all cases, we have tried to insure the relative accuracy of event sequences. However, the accuracy of event times themselves cannot be guaranteed. The reader must understand that actual clock times were only known for a relatively few events where someone took the time off of a clock or a watch. Even for the times associated with wireless messages, where messages were recorded using a standard time reference such as New York time or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), we find variances in the reported times put down by different operators describing the same communication.
