		A contrary viewpoint, however, was presented in Second Officer Charles Lightoller's 1934 autobiography, "Titanic and Other Ships."

		But Lightoller knew that no ship was perfect and things could go wrong, even on this marvel of Edwardian engineering.

	Charles Lightoller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Commander Charles Herbert Lightoller DSC and Bar RD RNR (30 March 1874 – December 8, 1952) was the second officer on board the Titanic, and the most senior officer to survive the disaster.
		Whilst on the Medic, Lightoller was reprimanded for a prank he and some fellow shipmen played on the citizens of Sydney at Fort Denison in Sydney Harbour.
		As the ship sank and Lightoller was thrown into the sea, one of the massive funnels broke free and hit the water, washing Lightoller against Collapsible B, one of two collapsible lifeboats the crew had been unable to launch prior to the sinking.

		Claim: Second Officer Lightoller claimed that he had crossed to the starboard side of the roof of the officer's quarters and had seen Murdoch swept away by a surge of water as the bridge submerged.
		This does not prove that Lightoller was talking about Murdoch, of course, but it does demonstrate that Lightoller did not tell everything he knew about the Titanic disaster when the inquiries were taking place in 1912.
		ANALYSIS: The claim that Lightoller disliked Smith and hated Wilde is completely without foundation and is based on the webmaster's assumption that Lightoller must have deeply resented his temporary demotion to Second Officer and that he blamed Smith and Wilde for that demotion.

		Although Lightoller, who had been lying awake in his bunk at the moment of collision, could prevent no direct evidence about what occurred on the bridge, he did testify to a conversation he had had with Lookout Fleet.
		Charles Pellegrino’s conclusion in this regard appears to be reasonable and justified by the evidence.
		Lightoller’s possibly erroneous second-hand account derived from Fleet would serve to back up such a conclusion, if it could be believed.

	Lightoller - Hidden Frontier
		First Officer Lightoller (John Whiting) was the officer on watch at the time of the HMS Titanic‘s fatal collision in the North Atlantic with an iceberg during its maiden voyage in 1912.

		Though the script for "Two Hours" names Lightoller as Titanic‘s First Officer, the historical Charles Herbert Lightoller was actually Second Officer at the time Titanic sank.

		This was witnessed by both Second Officer Charles Lightoller and the Second Wireless Operator and Marconi employee Harold Bride.
		Lightoller's later evidence in the Board of Trade enquiry has lead to accusations that he was concealing facts to help the White Star Line.

		Lightoller’s comments suggest that he, and others like him, believed the doctrine of “women and children first” to be a widely-held and fundamental principle of conduct.
		Further evidence that this principle was deeply imbedded in Western thought comes from an incident that took place more than half a century before the demise of Titanic.
		Does that law of human nature that Charles Lightoller was confident of still exist?
