fifth officer lowe

Can anyone tell me what final Masonic Rank did Harold Lowe reach?

I thought I'd put this up here for discussion. From what I read in other topics on H.G. Lowe, I've come to assume (I know, bad word) that he was a good guy and was nice to the passengers under his care. What I wonder, though, is how he felt towards the littler ones. If he met a child (person...

Was 5th Officer Lowe on deck when the Titanic sailed from Southampton? I would like to know this to see if he would have seen any of the people from 2nd Class who went on the tour of the 1st Class areas. I read somewhere (can't remember where) that they went onto the bridge as it was getting...

Hello all! An ET newbie here : ) Of the various topics that one can cover concerning the Titanic tragedy, the lives and backgrounds of the Titanic's deck officers has intrigued me most. I have found Encyclopedia Titanica to be the most rewarding in obtaining such information and - having...

The new issue of Signals (Number 81, Dec 2007 - Feb 2008), the journal of the Australian National Maritime Museum, has published an article I've written on Harold Lowe. The focus of the piece is on his Australian connections, both pre- and post- Titanic, illustrated with photos from the Lowe...

Now, I'm working for my extended essay, because I'm in an international school and it is for the IB diploma program, and my subject it is the rescue of third class passengers on Titanic. And, as I need some quotes in my work, I would like to have Lowe's quote about class. i read it somewhere and...

Hello. My apologies if this has already been discussed, but I couldn't find it elsewhere.... In "A Night to Remember" there is a scene after the sinking in which an officer in a lifeboat impressively takes charge and goes back towards the sinking site to look for survivors. I don't have the...

How tall was HG Lowe? He seemed to me to be like string bean but from what I have seen even tall men were much shorter then men are today.

On page 121 of Daniel Allen Butler's "Unsinkable" It says that when Lowe got to boat 14 there was a young boy we got into the boat. Lowe drew out his gun and said, "I'll give you just ten seconds to get back onto that ship before I blow your brains out!" Did Lowe really say that? Or should that...

I would just like to commemerate that it was 124 years ago today that Harold Godfrey Lowe was born November 21st 1882 in Eglwys Rhos, Conwy, Wales.

Hi Everybody! I know that there have been a lot of theories as to who fired the gun twice on the boat deck, before allegedly shooting himself, but I want to know what theories other people have on the matter. Carla PS. I don't know if this topic has been discussed already, but I have...

I am travelling through North Wales very soon. What places are there connected with Officer Lowe that I could visit in my travels?

Hello. I've Decided to do some Research on lowe's Conduct as Titanic's Fifth Officer. Why Have I Decided to Reseach This? In My Opinion Lowe's Conduct is a Controversial Subject, and it seems in some cases as if he has been portrayed inaccurately. Goals: 1. Brief Background Info. 2...

Hello Inger I went to the National Archives at Kew a couple of weeks ago to try and find the issue record of the RD for Harold Lowe and Captain Smith. Unfortunately this Medal Roll is not indexed in their records. I made a formal enquiry to the Archives and have received a reply to the...

Doesn't look like anyone has ever posted here (which is surprising), so I guess I'll be the first... Has anyone ever noticed while watching this movie that the boat deck set has a stairway heading upwards to a bridge on a supposedly higher deck? This is the only movie that has done that. I...

After re-reading Charlotte Collyer's account from the Semi-Monthly Magazine, I am wondering who the stoker with the injured hand was? ISTR occupants of one lifeboat referring to a man with similar injuries. Also, is Collyer's statement that Murdoch posted guards to prevent more firemen from...

Dear members of the forum, I've run into an interesting thing. The fact is I often visit the "almost official" Ioan Gruffudd fansite (http://www.ioanonline.com), there's also a forum there. So I've found in THAT forum a phrase of a participant who said that during the U.S. Titanic inquiry, the...

Dear members of the forum, could you help me to know one thing. There're quite many fan fictions in the Net, saying that Harold Lowe and James Moody became not colleagues only, but friends. In the real life, was it true?

Among the swag of new material posted by Sen to ET was a very interesting piece on improved pay and conditions for WSL officers (The Times, 3 April 1913). Lowe's comments along the lines of 'when we sleep we die' are understandable in the context of the watch on/watch off system then in...

I was just wondering if there are any photos of Lowe later on in life?
