Titanic Voyager is the life-story of Charles Herbert Lightoller, best known as the only senior officer to survive the sinking of the Titanic after supervising the loading and lowering of many of her lifeboats. In this revised edition of Titanic Voyager the author reveals startling new evidence relating to the sighting of the iceberg, refuting the long-held view that negligence on the part of the captain and crew contributed to the collision. Lightoller's career began as a 13-year-old apprentice in sail. He was shipwrecked four times, survived a fire at sea, a near drowning, frostbite and starvation while taking part in the Yukon Gold Rush. During the First World War he commanded a destroyer which rammed and sank a German U-boat, but the legacy of the Titanic haunted his post-war career, and his association with the White Star Line ended in acrimony. In 1940 at the age of 66, he took his motor-yacht 'Sundowner' to Dunkirk to rescue troops from the beaches. This was the day our hero discovered that what the sea could take from him, she could also give back. The story of his life and career is among the most remarkable of modern times. Herbert Lightoller, in every sense of the word, was truly a Titanic Voyager.
