Welcome to Hangar 401! I am a historian passionate about the narratives born at sea, and this account emerges as a space for historical dissemination focused on 19th- and 20th-century ships, their crews, and the social, economic, and historical contexts that shaped them.

He said that Captain Lord and Wireless Operator Evans of the Californian had been sudpoenad and were on their way with all the documents they needed for the inquiry; the Leyland Line, which operated the Californian was under the control of the IMM. #Titanic

Lightoller gave the boat orders to pull for the light on the horizon, but it seemed to disappear. Fleet said that he didn't see the light while he was in the crow's nest, but afterwards, he said the other ship didn't seem to be moving - though they could get no nearer to it.

On April 21st, it was announced in the press that the newest Olympic class vessel being built in Belfast, rumoured to be called Gigantic, would almost certainly have her plans altered considerably.

The new vessel being built, later to be called the Britannic, had had her keel laid on November 30th 1911 and it is likely that framing had been underway for a few months now. It is not likely that the modifications would have had a huge impact on the work already done.

In conversation, Hichens was singled out for criticism as Fleet felt he had given out a false story. Hichens had not obeyed instructions to wait until permission had been given from 'the boss' to talk. Remembering the gagging order, Fleet then went silent.

After this, Bride gave more evidence, saying that Phillips had also made it to the upturned collapsible boat B, but had died during the night. Modern research has shown that he was mistaken on this point. https://wormstedt.com/GeorgeBehe/Page13.htm

In the UK 'Daily Mail' newspaper, an interview appears with the designer of the Olympic class vessels, Alexander Carlisle. He revealed that he had asked for new davits to be designed for the new ships which could handle four boats apiece giving 'a total of over 40 boats.'

It wasn't just the men who were harangued on the Carpathia. Stewardess Annie Martin said in an interview, 'We were very severely abused by women passengers ... because we had been saved, and were told that we ought to have given our places in the boat up to passengers.'
