  • What Ever Happened to Robert
    www.encyclopedia-titanica.org This article is copyright Encyclopedia Titanica and its licensors © 2003 It may not be reproduced or transmitted in any form without permission. 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.

THE REST OF THE STORY Ten teams of chain makers worked on Titanic’s anchor chains. Those chains were 3 3/8 inches in diameter. Note the cross piece on each chain link. It is called a "stud link chain." That middle bar is intended to stop the link from kinking or from deforming if it is under a heavy load. This 1911 photograph appears in Chain and Anchor Making in the Black Country, a 2006 book by Ron Moss. After she was launched on May 31, 1911 the ship was outfitted for sea duty. It took many months before those tasks were completed. She was finally ready for a sea trial on April 2, 1912. Who was in charge of Titanic? Although most of the officers were the same, the crew that managed the sea trials was different from the crew assigned to the maiden voyage. Significantly, the chief executive officer William Murdoch was replaced by the less-well-liked (but friend-of-the-captain) Henry Tingle Wilde. E.J. (Edward John) Smith was the captain. Murdoch served as 1st officer during the voyage. With the addition of Wilde to the officer staff, the crew had an extra officer on board.

  • “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.

  • Third Class April 14 1912
    BACK ROW left to right: Chief purser Herbert McElroy, 2nd Officer Charles Lightoller, 3rd Officer Herbert Pitman, 4th Officer Joseph Boxhall, 5th Officer Harold Lowe FRONT ROW left to right: 6th Officer James Moody, Chief Officer Henry Wilde, Captain Edward Smith, 1st Officer William Murdoch Captain Edward John Smith - the Titanic’s maiden voyage was to be Captain Smith’s last trip before he retired. He went down with his ship. Second Officer Lightoller. Lookout Fred Fleet. The crew consisted of stewards, cooks, cleaners, waiters, etc.; 320 engineers, and 65 engaged in navigation – altogether there were 913 crew members. The Titanic could carry more than three thousand people on board, but for its maiden voyage, 2,229 people were on the ship. First Class: 325 (* These numbers may not Second Class : 285 be exact, as there are conflicting reports of Third Class : 706 numbers of survivors and Crew : 913 passenger numbers) The different classes did not mix on the ship – the First Class passengers were on the top decks; the Second Class on the middle decks; the Third Class further down. White Star realised that they could make a lot of money from Third Class passengers. (Third Class was also known as ‘Steerage’.) Other ships at the time did not provide comfortable living quarters for Third Class passengers, but by providing comfortable accommodation on the Titanic, White Star believed that it would be recommended to friends and family who would join those who had already emigrated. First Class passengers could swim in the pool, work out in the gymnasium, play squash, have a Turkish bath, or tan themselves on sunbeds.

  • Material 217
    216 “I knew there was, if I may mention it, this light on the port bow about two points.” – Charles Lightoller, Second Officer, RMS Titanic. Titanic presented what is called an acute angle-on-the-bow to Californian, from ½ point (5.6°) to 2 points (22.5°), as Titanic swung to starboard very slowly after first coming to a stop facing northwestward. As with Californian, the swinging of Titanic would be caused by the very light airs and calms that prevailed that night, and possibly by some slight differential movement of the sea surface near each vessel since they both stopped relatively close to the edge of this vast field of floating pack ice.3 As a result, Titanic would not appear full of light as one might expect, especially when being viewed at a great distance, and being somewhat hull-down below the horizon. At 12 to 13 miles away, the broadside view of a ship the size of Titanic would take up an angular width of only about 40 arcminutes if her entire hull from bow to stern had been visible. Presenting a two-point angle-on-the-bow, she would take up only 16 arcminutes (foreshortened by 60%), presenting a one-point angle-on-the-bow, she would take up only 8 arcminutes (foreshortened by 80%), and presenting a half-point angle-on-the-bow, she would take up only 4 arcminutes (foreshortened by 90%). As a point of reference, the average diameter of a full moon takes up an angular width of almost 30 arcminutes, almost ½ of a degree.

  • S.O.S. – the Titanic Centenary at BFI Southbank in April 2012
    PRESS RELEASE February 2012 12/14 S.O.S. – The Titanic Centenary At BFI Southbank in April 2012 April 2012 marks the centenary of the tragic sinking of the Titanic along with the loss of 1,517 passengers. The intervening years and countless tales of heroism to emerge from the disaster have caused the event to gain near mythical status in film and television; the distinct lack of footage from either the disaster and of the ship prior to its departure only fuelling the intrigue. BFI Southbank gathers together many of the filmed dramatisations of the disaster for a commemorative season that spans interpretations of the event from Britain, (Atlantic 1929, A Night to Remember 1958) and the US (Titanic 1953) via a unique take on the disaster from the propaganda machine of Nazi era Germany (Titanic 1943). Other highlights of the centenary are set to include an exclusive preview of ITV’s upcoming series, Titanic (2012), written by Julian Fellowes followed by a Q&A with the writer, director and cast members that will kick of BFI’s celebrations on 20 March, the newly re mastered version of James Cameron’s Blockbuster Titanic 3D (2012) opening at BFI IMAX on April 5, an illustrated lecture from author Join Charles Barr on Alfred Hitchcock’s abandoned Titanic Project, a specially curated Mediateque collection and a Mezzanine display marking the event. Shortly before midnight on 14 April 1912, the maiden voyage of the White Star Line’s beacon of luxury and progress, RMS Titanic, ended in tragedy when she struck an iceberg and sank in the early hours of 15 April.
