  Charles Lightoller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Commander Charles Herbert Lightoller DSC and Bar, RNR (30 March 1874 – December 8, 1952) was the second officer on board the Titanic, and the most senior officer to survive the disaster.
The cargo of coal caught fire while he was serving as Third Mate onboard the windjammer Knight of St. Michael, and for his successful efforts in fighting the fire and saving the ship, Lightoller was promoted to Second Mate.
The original Second Officer David Blair was dropped from the voyage altogether while the ship's roster of junior officers remained unchanged.

 Cappy Ricks by Peter B. Kyne: Chapter II. The Man from Blue Water
Naturally he expected prompt promotion, but the Old Man knew the value of experience in a second mate--also the value of years and physical weight; so he informed young Matt he was entirely too precocious and that to sail as second mate before he was nineteen might tend to swell his ego.
On the strength of his two previous discharges he shipped as second mate on the bark Andrew Welch, for a voyage to Honolulu and back; then, his services as second mate being all in, he went before the inspectors for his first mate's ticket and was awarded an unlimited license.
After abandoning his plan to ship as chief mate he had sought a second mate's berth, but failing to find one, and with each idle day making deeper inroads into his scant savings, he had at length descended to the ignominy of considering a job as bosun.

It was on the Friday night, that the Second Mate had the watch aloft looking for the man up the main; and for the next five days little else was talked about; though, with the exception of Williams, Tammy and myself, no one seemed to think of treating the matter seriously.
As for the Second Mate, I have very little doubt now, but that he was beginning to realise there was something deeper and less understandable than he had at first dreamed of.
What is more, the Second had not even affected to treat the matter lightly, nor as a thing to be sneered at; but had listened seriously, and asked a great many questions.

 MOAA - Today's Officer: Sailing Toward a Second Career
Because of the different duties and regulations, most military retirees pursuing a second career at sea must work their way up the ladder to attain a position equivalent to the military rank at which they retired.
When he retired from the military in 1992, he returned to the industry and was hired as a second mate— the Navy’s equivalent of a full lieutenant.
Most career military officers try to obtain a master’s, mate’s, or engineer’s license, which allows them to hold a position of authority on a ship and use many of the skills they acquired in the service.

The Second Mate muttered something, and told him to go down into the saloon to see whether the First and Third Mates, by any chance, were not in their berths.
We had nearly mast-headed the yard, and the Second Mate was looking up at the dark outline of the sail, ready to sing out “Belay”; when, all at once, there came a queer sort of muffled shout from Williams.

Inevitably there are big differences not only in what students want in a life-long mate and what their parents want for them, but also in what students think their parents want for them versus what they really want for their children and in what parents think their children want for themselves.

The Chief Mate was killed and the rest of the survivors had to wait eight days with hardly any food and water that Lightoller felt tasted like 'a mixture of rotten eggs and classroom chalk', until they were finally rescued by the Coorong and taken to Australia.
It was here that he received his Second Mate's Certificate, beating out the three other boys that were also up for it.
For his efforts, coupled with the fact that the Second Mate had a drinking problem that the captain could no longer tolerate, Lightoller was promoted to Second Mate.
