Charles Lightoller’s Worst Day Ever
Hi all, I’m technically still on holiday (Tales will be back for Season 5 on 1st February.) - but I was on the mic on Sunday, and had a little downtime … and a spare script or two. This week we meet Charles Lightoller, a remarkable sailor, on what I believe must have been his worst day ever?
Sources Include:
I wrote this to the blog in early 2020… so …. pass, sorry. But articles probably included.
This History Channel article - Author not listed.
This Encyclopaedia Titanica article looks very familiar… Author not listed
… And this Dunkirk 1940 dot org article… Another anonymous piece.
AND I’m 100% certain I used an article from the Liverpool Museum website… But it appears they have taken that article down some time ago??

Music, writing, narration, mixing normally yours truly. I probably unintentionally interpolated from Tom Lewis’ ‘The Last Shanty’ in the background music this week - so credit where credit is due.
