Charles Lightoller’s Worst Day Ever

from Tales of History and Imagination · host Simone Whitlow

Hi all, I’m technically still on holiday (Tales will be back for Season 5 on 1st February.) - but I was on the mic on Sunday, and had a little downtime … and a spare script or two. This week we meet Charles Lightoller, a remarkable sailor, on what I believe must have been his worst day ever?      Sources Include:  I wrote this to the blog in early 2020… so …. pass, sorry. But articles probably included.   This History Channel article - Author not listed.  This Encyclopaedia Titanica article looks very familiar… Author not listed … And this Dunkirk 1940 dot org article… Another anonymous piece.  AND I’m 100% certain I used an article from the Liverpool Museum website… But it appears they have taken that article down some time ago??  Support the show on Patreon for $2 US a month and get access to exclusive content, or Try our 7 Day Free Trial.  Please leave Tales a like and a review wherever you listen. The best way you can support us is to share an episode with a friend - Creative works grow best by word of mouth. I post episodes fortnightly, Wednesdays.   Tales of History and Imagination is on  | Facebook | Twitter | TikTok | Threads | Instagram | YouTube |  Music, writing, narration, mixing normally yours truly. I probably unintentionally interpolated from Tom Lewis’ ‘The Last Shanty’ in the background music this week - so credit where credit is due.      Visit Simone’s  | About Me | Twitter |
