RMS Titanic, Charles Lightoller summons
RMS Titanic - Second Officer Charles Lightoller. An official summons to appear before the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, as a witness at the American Titanic enquiry on 30 April 1912 at 3pm. A printed form with handwritten particulars summoning Mr Lightoller to appear at court. He started his career at sea in 1888 at the age of 13 and is best known for his service aboard the Titanic. He survived the sinking on collapsible boat B, narrowly avoiding death as the ship's forward funnel broke off and toppled his way. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross in WW1 and found himself in the midst of war again in 1940 when he sailed his vessel Sundowner to Dunkirk to assist in the evacuation of British soldiers from the beaches. Date: 1912
