They've got a different spin on it. It's still a fascinating story because so tragic and avoidable! It was greed that was the culprit!

Thanks for posting this Margaret - there was a guy on TV talking about the "Strange case of Uncle Bertie!"

My recent researches have led me to believe that Great Uncle Bertie, Second Officer Lightoller of Titanic fame, may have misled many people, including officials and family about what really happened on the fateful night of 15 April 1912. As the terrible events of that disaster have been well documented over the past 100 years, I decided to focus my book on the leading player in the drama – my great uncle Bertie.

Using early 20th century records and my great uncle’s autobiography, published in 1935, I discovered that Charles Herbert Lightoller was born in 1874. His childhood was marred by one tragedy after another but he was especially devoted to his youngest sister, Gertrude, my grandmother. Despite this he ran off to sea at the age of 13. His adventures under sail in the giant ships of the time included more than one shipwreck and several weeks marooned on a deserted island. It was a tough life and, by the time Great Uncle Bertie joined the famous White Star Line, he had already been sailing the seven seas for 25 years.
