harold bride

I just heard that David McCallum, best known in the Titanic Community for portraying Harold Bride in the 1958 movie A Night to Remember, and for narrating the highly regarded 1994 Titanic documentary episodes "Titanic: Death of a Dream" and "Titanic: The Legend Lives On" has died at the age of...

What time did the Marconi set breakdown and when did Phillips and Bride get it going again?

Dear fellow members, I found some ancient posts on this forum from members who raised the question if Harold Bride had given any interviews in later life regarding his ordeal on the Titanic. Apart from the interview "Thrilling Story by Titanic's Surviving Wireless Man" that appeared in the New...

Here is an image of my personal tribute display to Jack Phillips and Harold Bride. I hope that you like it!

Is there any record of the early wireless messages that Phillips or Bride might have transmitted or received on the 10th and/or 11th April 1912? In fact, what were they doing during the passage from Southampton via Cherbourg to Queenstown? The only bit of related information I have seen is...

Hello, I wonder if have you seen "The Last Signals" short movie from 2012 about Harold Bride' (and Jack Phillips) story on Titanic. If yes, what do you think about this? You can see the movie via Youtube: Regards, Aleksandra

I saw that Phillips and Bride were sometimes (including in this sub-forum title) referred to as Wireless "Officers". But in fact, were they treated on par with the ship's other officers? For example, how did their accommodation compare? Did they eat with the ship's officers? What toilet...

I mean, is it known who was that man?

I wonder if someone could explain exactly what is meant when we read that the Marconi operators weren't employed by WSL but by Marconi. I mean what the business arrangement was. Did Marconi rent the rooms and provide everything necessary? Or did WSL pay Marconi to have the extra service...

In his recent National Geographic article "Ghostwalking In Titanic" James Cameron makes this claim about Bride and Phillips: "In the soundproof Marconi room, the wireless apparatus survives, the knife switches still in the positions left by the young operators, Harold Bride and Jonathan...

My apologies if this had already been discussed previously. I came across a website that says Harold Bride's son was named John Phillip Bride and called Jack. Is it possible Bride had named his son after his colleague John George 'Jack' Phillips or was it just a coincidence?

In the latest edition of Her Name: Titanic, Charles Pellegrino makes the following claim about John Phillips and Harold Bride's jokes to each other during the night: "For this edition, the jokes themselves have resurfaced, following the discovery of Harold Bride's descendants and a complete...

I understand that Harold Bride had two daughters (Lucy and Jeanette) as well as a son. In Charles Pellegrino's book "Her Name, Titanic," the son is identified as John, but I have elsewhere seen his name as Jack (the nickname for John) and John George Phillip. My question is - was this son...

From the crew signing on sheets, it appears that Phillips wage was £4.50 per month whilst Bride received just £2.2.6 per month which I understand were paid by Marconi . These amounts appear very small considering their jobs and expertise eg a turkish bath stewardess received £4 pm. Was there a...

I am currently reading "Her name, Titanic : the untold story of the sinking and finding of the unsinkable ship" by Charles Pellegrino. I have read many times over Bride's claim that he assaulted a crewman trying to remove Phillip's life jacket as he was working but it is the first time I have...

Are there any records of Harold Bride talking about the disaster in his later life? I ask because a few years ago I attended a pretty poor talk at the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) in London, and Bride and Philips were brought up - the subject of the talk was about the...

Does anyone out there have any photos of Harold Bride? I know of only 3, and all taken around the time of the Titanic disaster. I understand he was a bit of a recluse when it came to Titanic's fate,so I might be barking up the tree.thanks to those that answer my post....

http://www.titanicnorden.com/download/bilder/passagerare/telegraf.jpg In this famous "Titanic wireless operators" picture, Jack Phillips and a young man could be seen on a ship. Some say that the young man on the right is Harold Bride while some people disagree. So.. what do you think? -...

Can anyone tell me where Harold Bride was born? According to different researchers he was born in 1. Hull, 2. Nunhead, 3. Near Catford, 4. 31 Gellatly Road, Nunhead (which was actually in Deptford in 1890) Has anyone seen his birth certificate or found him on 1891 census? I would be...
