 Radio Story - Wireless and the Titanic   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Harold Bride was in his bunk but was turning out early to relieve Phillips, who as we have seen had a heavy shift Harold Bride had just taken over and Jack Phillips was preparing to turn in when Captain E. Smith appeared and said, 'You had better get assistance'.
Bride's participation in the actual events was not to end there as he was carried to the wireless room of the Carpathia towards the end of the survivors trip to New York to relieve a totally exhausted Cottam who had been on duty since receiving the 'come at once' message from the TITANIC.
Bride recalled that SOS had recently been agreed as the international distress signal and suggested that Phillips might send that as well, 'it might be the last chance you have to send it', he added prophetically.

 Murdoch -The Man, the Mystery -Harold Bride   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Harold Bride is –in addition to his role as Titanic’s junior wireless operator- also famous for his testimony regarding the last piece of music played by Titanic’s orchestra.
It is quite clear from this evidence that Harold Bride was unfamiliar with the officers and in particular with the identity of First Officer Murdoch.
Despite claims made in regard to Robinson’s interview of Bride, it seems rather certain that he was on the opposite side of the ship to Murdoch, in accordance with the testimony he gave at both the Senate and British Inquiries.

Claim: Webmaster claims that Harold Bride was standing right next to First Officer Murdoch on the starboard side of the ship while Murdoch was working to launch Collapsible A. When the bridge suddenly submerged, a surge of seawater rushed over the deck and threw Bride and Murdoch into the sea together.
Bride was therefore an *eyewitness* to Murdoch being swept into the sea and could therefore state with authority that the First Officer did not shoot himself.
Harold Bride's 1912 testimony makes it clear that he had no idea who Murdoch was and was utterly unqualified (44 years after the sinking) to make authoritative pronouncements about Murdoch's propensity to take his own life.

He drew from the witness an acknowledgment that on Sunday evening Bride was sitting, the telephonic apparatus strapped to his ears, adjusting his accounts, while the steamship Californian, seeking to warn the Titanic that icebergs were invading the lanes of ocean travel, called incessantly.
Bride said he was a native of London, was 22 years old and had learned his profession in a British school of telegraphy.
Under a fire of questions Bride acknowledged that a half hour previously, or at 4.30 Sunday afternoon, he was working on his accounts in the wireless room when he heard the Californian trying to raise the Titanic.

Bride) was made known, Lightoller called out, from his position at the bow, questions which all of us heard, as to the names of the steamships with which he had been in communication for assistance.
Bride stated that he knew the body of "the man lying aft" was transferred to #12, and this was the body of the crewman mentioned by Gracie and which Lightoller *agreed* (in 1912) was a crewman.
Bride's assumption that the body of Phillips (which he never saw) was *also* taken on board the Carpathia was just that -- an assumption (since he obviously did not see Phillips' body laying abandoned in #12 after that boat was emptied of living passengers).

In describing his final minutes onboard, Bride declared that the musicians were playing a piece called “Autumn” as he left the wireless shack and sought safety in one of the last available lifeboats.
Shortly afterward, Bride was swept off the deck, along with the boat and the other men, as the forward portion of the ship’s superstructure submerged.
In addition, there is the matter of Bride’s report of the playing of “Autumn” from the time he left the wireless shack until after he was out in the water, away from the ship -- a series of events that could not have unfolded in under five minutes and easily could have taken longer.

 Titanic & Californian   (Site not responding. Last check: )
When Bride returns to the radio, Stone's book explicitly has him plead in his tapping for the Californian to answer, and at one point there is some more forlorn exasperation over the Californian's inability to respond to the Titanic's plight.
We do know that Bride was aware of the Californian's presence before the disaster since, as he told the Senate Inquiry, he was aware of an ice message from the Leyland Liner earlier in the day.
It is certainly not beyond the realm of comprehension that Phillips and Bride may have exchanged some words about the subject of what had happened to that ship in the ensuing time since, as they tried to signal all the ships in the North Atlantic to come to Titanic's assistance.

Many researchers have expressed the belief that Phillips died of exposure after crawling on board the upturned Collapsible B, this opinion being based on evidence that was provided by junior Marconi operator Harold Bride and Second Officer Charles Lightoller.
Bride stated that he knew the body of "the man lying aft" was transferred to #12 -- which was undoubtedly the body of the crewman mentioned by Gracie and which Lightoller (in 1912) *agreed* was the body of a crewman.
However, another newspaper interview with Thomas Whiteley states that Jack Phillips was in one of the five lifeboats that were lashed together.
