gunshots

Good evening everyone, I know this is a topic that gives a lot of people a headache, but while scrolling through various threads regarding the shootings, there was always a lot of opinions and debate. I’m not asking for the identity of the shooter, just any facts that have been collected. Is...

One of the characters in Titanic based on real-life people was Will Murdoch, and his family wasn't pleased with how the movie portrayed him. https://screenrant.com/titanic-movie-murdoch-real-life-family-upset-reason/

Survivors heard gunshots after the Titanic sank while others thought they were explosions. Here is a gun fired with a strong echo. Could survivors mistake this for an explosion? We have survivors who did not hear any gunshots. e.g. QM Rowe Q - Did you hear any revolver shots? A - No...

I cannot see a thread on this subject so apologies if there is one & I've missed it. Having just read "shots in the dark" by Bill Wormstedt & tad Fitch I am intrigued to know a little bit more about the guns. Can anyone provide answers to the following: 1. Was the storing of guns on...

When Lightoller was at the Senate Inquiry he told them that he didn't fire his gun but he told Col.Gracie he did. Lightoller even wrote in Titanic and Other Ships that he didn't fire his gun. So which is true, did he or didn't he? If he did, which boat was it at? Best regards, Kari...

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...

In Mr. Lords' "The Night Lives On" he talks about Eugene Dalys and George Rheims letters written to sister and wife concerning shots fired. And along with Steward Edward Browns testimony it seems it was collapsible A that was involved. Both letters mention an officer shooting himself as well as...

I have read Bill Wormstedt's excellent site about the possibility of an officer's suicide. In it, he says that there are accounts of shots being fired at Collapsible C, but apart from Thayer, I can't think of anyone else. Does anyone know any other witnesses? Cheers Paul

Does anybody know the names of the passengers who were shot? And how many were there, anyway? 2? 3 if you count the suicide?

I've recently re-read the article on Gunshots on Board, and a thought occured to me. Mr. Lowe reported that there was a "crowd of wild Italians" or some such that had to be fended off with gunfire. Here's where my odd thought comes in; there weren't a lot of Italians on board...among the...

Thanks for the article, Earl. I enjoyed reading it. I don't know why there's such a debate about this --it seems obvious that in such conditions, some sort of panic was likely to break out, and shots fired. When shots are fired, someone often gets hurt. The fact Officer Lowe fired his gun...

Hi all, just finished reading Steve Santini's book Titanic Touchstones of a Tragedy, a very interesting look at the disaster from the perspective of the Titanic collection of the Manitoba Museum. my question regards the following passage from the book starting at the very bottom of page 34...

During the last confused minutes before the ship foundered there were reports of a shooting near one of the collapsable boats involving 1 or 2 passengers and an officer. Walter Lord reports two seperate letters written shortly after the sinkings by survivors which indicate one of the...
