EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a poignant moment in maritime history: the official summons of Second Officer Charles Lightoller to appear before the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia as a witness at the American Titanic enquiry on April 30, 1912. The printed form, with its handwritten particulars, bears the summons for Mr. Lightoller to appear at court at 3pm. Born in 1888, Lightoller began his career at sea at the tender age of 13. He is best known for his service aboard the RMS Titanic, where he survived the sinking on collapsible boat B. A near-death experience, as the ship's forward funnel broke off and toppled towards him. Lightoller's bravery and experience earned him the Distinguished Service Cross in WWI, and once again found himself in the midst of war in 1940 when he sailed his vessel, Sundowner, to Dunkirk to assist in the evacuation of British soldiers from the beaches. This rare document, signed by an official, is a testament to Lightoller's important role in maritime history. Dated 1912, this photograph is a poignant reminder of the Titanic tragedy and the heroism of those who survived it.
