Commander Charles Herbert Lightoller DSC & Bar, RD, RNR (30 March 1874 8 December 1952) was the second mate (second officer) on board the Titanic, and the most senior officer to survive the disaster. Lightoller was decorated for gallantry as a naval officer in World War 1 and later, in retirement, further distinguished himself in World War 2 by providing and sailing one of the “little ships” during the perilous Dunkirk evacuation.

Early maritime career
Charles Herbert Lightoller was born in Chorley, Lancashire, on 30 March 1874. His mother, Sarah Lightoller, died shortly after giving birth to him. He was born into a cotton family who owned the Lightoller mill in Chorley. His father, Fred Lightoller, abandoned young Charles and left for New Zealand. Not wanting to end up with a factory job like most of Britain’s youth at the time, at the age of 13, young Charles began a four-year seafaring apprenticeship on board the Primrose Hill. On his second voyage, he set sail with the crew of the Holt Hill. During a storm in the South Atlantic, the ship was forced to put in at Rio de Janeiron the midst of a small pox epidemic and revolutionhere repairs were made. Another storm on 13 November 1889 in the Indian Ocean caused the ship to run aground on an uninhabited, four- and-a-half-square-mile island now called ?le Saint-Paul. They were rescued by the Coorong and taken to Adelaide, Australia. Lightoller joined the crew of the clipper ship Duke of Abercorn for his return to England.
Charles returned to the Primrose Hill for his third voyage. They arrived in Calcutta, India, where he passed his second mate’s certificate. The cargo of coal caught fire while he was serving as third mate on board the windjammer Knight of St. Michael, and for his successful efforts in fighting the fire and saving the ship, Lightoller was promoted to second mate.
In 1895, at the age of 21 and a veteran of the dangers at sea, he obtained his mate ticket and left sailing ships for steamships. After three years of service in Elder Dempster’s African Royal Mail Service on the West African coast, he nearly died from a heavy bout of malaria.
Lightoller went to the Yukon in 1898, abandoning the sea, to prospect for gold in the Klondike Gold Rush. Failing at this endeavour, he then became a cowboy in Alberta, Canada. He became a hobo in order to return home, riding the rails back across Canada. He worked as a cattle wrangler on a cattle boat for his passage back to England. In 1899, he arrived home penniless. He obtained his master’s certificate and joined Greenshields and Cowie for whom he made another trip on a cattle boat, this time as third mate of the Knight Companion. In January of the following year (1900), he began his career with the White Star Line as fourth officer of the Medic.
Fort Denison incident
Whilst on the Medic, on a voyage from Britain to South Africa and Australia, Lightoller was reprimanded for a prank he and some shipmates played on the citizens of Sydney at Fort Denison in Sydney Harbour. In 1900 the Boer War was raging in full fury in distant South Africa where Australian troops fought alongside British, the first war the newly independent country had taken part in. As a result passions were high when the White Star Line’s Medic sailed into Sydney Harbour and dropped anchor in Neutral Bay. Its fourth officer was Charles Lightoller, who enjoyed a joke as much as the next man. Spending time ashore with shipmates the young sailor was amazed by the depth of concern expressed by locals concerning the South African conflict, so he decided to have some fun at their expense. In the early hours of the morning Lightoller, accompanied by four midshipmen, quietly rowed in pre-dawn darkness to the fortress and climbed its tower. They hoisted a makeshift Boer flag from its lightning conductor before loading a cannon with 14 pounds of blasting powder, added white cotton waste, and poured in some fine-grain powder before lighting a 50-foot fuse and quickly making their escape back to the Medic to watch the spectacle from its decks.
Lightoller’s plan was to fool locals into believing a Boer raiding party was attacking Sydney and had captured Fort Denison. When the heavy gun went off, the resounding bang blew out windows and woke people living around the harbour who leapt from beds to windows to see what was happening, finding a Boer flag fluttering in the dawn breeze and panicking. Unfortunately for Lightoller, passengers on the Medic had seen him and his party sneaking off the ship and back on board prior to the incident, as had night-watch sailors aboard other vessels anchored in the vicinity. Police and port…(and so on)
