Frasi di Charles Lightoller

Charles Herbert Lightoller è stato un marinaio britannico.

Fu comandante nelle compagnie di navigazione DSC & Bar, RD e come riservista nella RNR, ma è maggiormente ricordato per aver ricoperto la qualifica di secondo ufficiale di coperta a bordo del Titanic, nonché per essere stato l'ufficiale più anziano ad essere sopravvissuto al disastro. Lightoller venne decorato per il coraggio dimostrato in marina durante la prima guerra mondiale e, successivamente, in pensione; si distinse anche durante la seconda guerra mondiale, fornendo navi di soccorso durante l'operazione Dinamo.

Interview with the nickaloadian, 1936

“When she got to an angle of about 60 degrees, there was a sullen sort of rumbling roar as her massive boilers all left their beds and went crashing down through the bulkheads and everything that stood in their way.Up to that moment, she had stood out as clear as clear with her rows of electric lights all burning. When the boilers broke away, she was, of course, plunged into absolute darkness though her huge black outline was still perfectly distinct up against the stars and sky.Slowly she reared up on end till, at last, she was absolutely perpendicular. Then quite quietly, but quicker and quicker, she seemed just to slide away under the surface and disappear.As she vanished, everyone around me on the upturned boat, as though they could hardly believe it, just said, "She's gone."”
