Somewhere along the line, Jack makes friends with a Italian immigrant named Fabrizio Di Rossi. Their travels bring them to Southampton on April 10th, 1912, sailing day for the RMS Titanic. Desperate to go to America, Jack bets all he and Fabrizio have on two third class tickets to the Titanic. Jack's full house hand wins the pot, and Jack and Fabrizio make it to the Titanic at the last minute, occupying Cabin G-60, along with Bjorn and Olaus Gunderson, two Swedish brothers.

On April 12th, while relaxing on the poop deck, Jack and Fabrizio meet Tommy Ryan, an Irish man also traveling third class. Jack looks up at the boat deck sees a woman who he thinks is very beautiful. Later that night, Jack stops the woman, Rose DeWitt Bukater, from committing suicide and he is considered a hero. Caledon Hockley, Rose's fiancée, reluctantly invites Jack to have dinner with some first class passengers the next evening in gratitude. Jack accepts the offer. The following is a list of characters from the 1997 film Titanic. ...


The next day, Rose seeks Jack out to thank him for saving her. They talk all day about their life goals, and at dinner, with the help of Margaret Brown, Jack is made into a gentleman. Despite Ruth and Cal's attempts to humiliate him for being the third class passenger that he is, Jack charms the first class passengers and wins their respect, much of Cal and Ruth's chagrin. Afterwards he passes Rose a note telling her to meet him at the clock, where he invites her to a third class "real party". While at the party, Jack and Rose get drunk and dance with each other, unknowingly being spied upon by Spicer Lovejoy, Cal's manservant.


The next morning, April 14th, the final full day, Jack attempts to speak to Rose, but Lovejoy and the bribed officers stop him from entering first class premises. Desperate to talk to her, Jack sneaks up to the boat deck. Jack steals Arthur Ryerson's jacket and sneaks Rose into the gymnasium to talk to her. Rose refuses to speak any more and says that she loves Cal and will marry him.


Later, while Jack is relaxing at the bow of the ship, Rose finds him there and claims that she has changed her mind. They share a passionate moment together and have their first kiss. Rose then asks Jack to draw her nude wearing only the diamond that Cal gave her, which Jack does. He starts out nervous but breaks through that quickly and draws with sure strokes. After Rose dressed, Lovejoy finds them in the hallway and chases them into the boiler room, where they lock the door on him. They make their way to the cargo hold where they make love in a car. Around 11:40 PM, they return to the well deck of the ship where they share another passionate kiss. While they are kissing, the ship hits a large iceberg and is critically damaged. After realizing the seriousness of the situation, Rose suggests warning her mother and Cal. When Lovejoy sees them coming, he sneaks the diamond into Jack's pocket, going along with a plan by Cal and Ruth to frame Jack. As soon as Jack enters the room that Cal is in, Cal demands a search for his "stolen" property. The master-at-arms finds the diamond in Jack's pocket and discovers that the jacket he is wearing belongs to Arthur Ryerson. Jack is then arrested (the master-at-arms had, in fact, been bribed to take part in the scheme and arrest Jack without questioning the absurdity of Jack possibly taking the diamond and returning to the crime scene with it) and locked up on E Deck with the master-at-arms watching him.


The master-at-arms is sent away to control a riot, and Lovejoy takes over watching him. He expresses his belief that the ship will sink, and delivers a message from Cal (a punch in the gut) before leaving Jack locked up in the room. Moments later, the room begins to flood. Fortunately, Rose finds him with Thomas Andrews' directions, and she is able to free him from the handcuffs with an axe. Cut off from their original way out, Jack and Rose look for another way back to the boat deck, reuniting with Fabrizio and Tommy in the process. Finally, they are able to break down a gate and make their way to the boat deck.


On the boat deck, they find Lifeboat 2, which is being loaded entirely with women and children, and Jack sends Tommy and Fabrizio to find another boat on the other side of the ship. While waiting on Lifeboat 2, they are found by Cal, who gives Rose his jacket. Cal reassures Rose that he and Jack will be able to get off the ship safely, and Rose is then put in the boat. While it lowers, at around 1:45 AM, Cal tells Rose that there is an arrangement for he and Jack to get off the ship. As the boat lowers, Cal tells Jack that there is no arrangement. Not able to leave Jack, Rose jumps back on the ship and runs to the Grand Staircase, where she embraces Jack. Enraged, Cal chases them down the staircase into the flooding reception room firing at them with a gun. In a deleted scene, Lovejoy continues the chase into the dining room, where Jack punches him in the gut in revenge for leaving him to die.


As they go back upstairs, they hear a little boy crying in a rapidly flooding hallway. They try to rescue him, but his father finds them and grabs him. Seconds later, two doors burst open and water floods the hallway. Jack and Rose are thrown against a metal gate. Their only hope of escape is a terrified steward with keys. The steward tries to open the gate, but he drops the keys and runs away. Jack grabs them and opens the gate seconds before the hallway floods completely. Jack and Rose make their way aft. It is now past 2 AM.


While on their way back, Jack and Rose run into Thomas Andrews in the first class smoking room, who has chosen to stay there and die. By the time they reach the aft well deck, all the lifeboats have been launched and the water has reached the forward boat deck, pushing it underwater and forcing the stern to rise out of the water. They decide to stay on the ship as long as possible and head to the poop deck. As they make their way "up" the stern, it continues to rise out of the water. Eventually the ship is sticking out at such a steep angle that anyone not holding on to something slides down the deck. Jack and Rose hold onto the stern railing as the ship continues to rise out of the water. Soon, the pressure causes the ship to split in two pieces. The stern end is pulled into the air, sticking out of the water at a ninety degree angle, and it sinks into the water at 2:20 AM.


Once the Titanic is underwater, Jack and Rose find a floating door on the water to rest on which can only hold one person. While he slowly freezes to death, Jack makes Rose promise that she will survive this disaster, and that she will live a long and satisfying life. He then succumbs to hypothermia and Rose lets his body sink into the ocean. When he died, Rose kept the promise to survive the disaster, and to "never let go." Hypothermia refers to any condition in which the temperature of a body drops below the level required for normal metabolism and/or bodily function to take place. ...

Rose DeWitt Bukater

Rose DeWitt Bukater

Rose poses nude on the couch for Jack.
Born 1895
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Died unknown

Rose DeWitt Bukater was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1895 and is 17 years old during her first class passage on the RMS Titanic. Rose boards with her fiancé, Caledon Hockley, and her mother, Ruth. Although Rose does not love Cal, she is being forced into an arranged marriage to him by her mother. Since her father's death, according to Ruth, she and her daughter were left with nothing, except a "legacy of bad debts hidden by a good name", so she expects Rose to marry into money (Cal) in order to maintain the family's high social status and luxerious way of life.

While on board, Rose almost attempts suicide by jumping over the railing of the ship, but a third class man named Jack Dawson brings her to her senses and saves her when she almost falls. Rose's screams from slipping on the railing attracted the attention of several crew members, who find Jack sprawled on top of Rose after he pulled her over from the edge. This suspicious situation (guesswork) almost has Jack arrested, but after a clarification in front of Cal, Lovejoy, and the ship's master-at-arms, Jack is recognized as a hero. Cal invites Jack to dine with him in the First Class Dining Room.


The next day, Rose seeks Jack out to thank him for what he did. They talk on the boat deck for hours about what they want to do in their lives. She also learns that he is a very talented portrait artist. When dinner comes, she watches as Jack charms the group with his life story, all except her mother and Cal. Jack invites Rose to a "real party" in third class.


At the party, they dance, not seeing Cal's manservant Spicer Lovejoy spying on them. The next morning, as they had breakfast together, Cal yells at her and tells her not to behave like that again. Then, while her maid is fastening her corset in preparation for the church service, her mother interrupts and dismisses Trudy. Ruth tells her daughter that she cannot see Jack again, for both their sakes.


That afternoon, April 14th, she is walking on the boat deck with her mother, Cal and Thomas Andrews, the builder of the ship, when Jack grabs her and takes her into the gymnasium. He tries to talk to her, but she doesn't listen to him and goes back to the group.


Later, while having tea, she realizes that she has made the wrong choice and finds Jack at the bow of the ship. They share a special moment and have their first kiss while the sun goes down. Rose then takes Jack to the sitting room of her suite and asks him to draw her nude wearing only the Heart of the Ocean necklace. When Jack is finished, she puts the diamond necklace in Cal's safe along with the sketch and a taunting note for him. However, Lovejoy finds them and chases them all the way down to the boiler room of the ship, where they lock the door on him. They then venture into the cargo hold and make love to each other in the back of a car.


At 11:40 PM, they come back up to the bow of the ship and share another passionate kiss, while the ship hits an iceberg. Rose suggests telling her mother and Cal. When they do, Jack is framed for stealing the diamond, and Rose is taken to a lifeboat with her mother. However, Rose runs away to save Jack. After receiving instructions from Andrews, she finds Jack in a rapidly flooding room on E Deck. Shortly after 1:15 AM, she dismembers his handcuffs from the pole with an ax, freeing him, and they make it back to the boat deck with Jack's friends, Tommy Ryan and Fabrizio De Rossi.


On the boat deck, they find Lifeboat 2, which is being loaded entirely with women and children, and Jack sends Tommy and Fabrizio to find another boat on the other side of the ship. While waiting on Lifeboat 2, they are found by Cal, who gives Rose his jacket. Cal reassures Rose that he and Jack will be able to get off the ship safely, and Rose is then put in the boat. While it lowers, at around 1:45 AM, Cal tells Rose that there is an arrangement for he and Jack to get off the ship. As the boat lowers, Cal tells Jack that there is no arrangement. Not able to leave Jack, Rose jumps back on the ship and runs to the Grand Staircase, where she embraces Jack. Enraged, Cal chases them down the staircase into the flooding reception room with a gun.


As they go back upstairs, they hear a little boy crying in a rapidly flooding hallway. They try to rescue him, but his father finds them and grabs him. Seconds later, two doors burst open and water floods the hallway. Jack and Rose are thrown against a metal gate. Their only hope of escape is a terrified steward with keys. The steward tries to open the gate, but he drops the keys and runs away. Jack grabs them and opens the gate seconds before the hallway floods completely. Jack and Rose make their way aft. It is now past 2 AM.


While on their way back, Jack and Rose run into Andrews in the first class smoking room, who has chosen to stay there and die. By the time they reach the aft well deck, all the lifeboats have been launched and the water has reached the forward boat deck, pushing it underwater and forcing the stern to rise out of the water. They decide to stay on the ship as long as possible and head to the poop deck. As they make their way "up" the stern, it continues to rise out of the water. Eventually the ship is sticking out at such a steep angle that anyone not holding on to something slides down the deck. Jack and Rose hold onto the stern railing as the ship continues to rise out of the water. Soon, the pressure causes the ship to split in two pieces. The stern end is pulled into the air, sticking out of the water at a ninety degree angle, and it sinks into the water at 2:20 AM.


In the water, Jack leads Rose to a floating door in the water that she floats on. While he freezes in the water, Jack makes Rose promise that she will survive. Later, after Jack has died, she uses a whistle to call a lifeboat to save her. While on the RMS Carpathia, she sees Cal, who is looking for her desperately. She hides her face in the blanket just as Cal looks over. He doesn't see her and walks away. That is the last time she ever sees him.


On arriving in New York, she takes Jack's name when asked by a steward, calling herself Rose Dawson. She goes on to do everything that she had promised Jack she would do, riding astride a horse on the beach, going to Santa Monica Pier, flying a plane, and so forth. Rose becomes an actress, gets married, and has children, but she never forgets Jack. At the very end of the movie, Rose is seen as a young woman of 17 again walking through the glorious ship and into the hallway, where she is greeted by all the people who died on the ship, and lastly, by Jack himself, whom she kisses at the top of the staircase, giving way to thunderous applause. Whether she is dreaming of passed away (like Jack said she would do) remains unknown, as James Cameron (the director of Titanic) comments "it is to remain up to the viewer to decide weather Rose has passed away or is just dreaming." James Francis Cameron (born August 16, 1954) is a three-time Academy Award winning director, producer and screenwriter. ... Look up titanic, Titanic in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

Caledon Nathan Hockley

Caledon Nathan Hockley

Enraged, Caledon chases Jack and Rose with Lovejoy's gun, until he reaches the flooded first class reception room.
Born 1882
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Died 1929, age 47
United States

Caledon Hockley was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1882 as the son of French-American steel tycoon Nathan Hockley. He was educated at Harvard University and was vacationing in France when he settled an old claim to the famous, "Heart of the Ocean" diamond under absolute secrecy on April 3rd, 1912, a week before he sailed on RMS Titanic due to his family's descent from French royalty.

Harvard University (incorporated as The President and Fellows of Harvard College) is a private university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA and a member of the Ivy League. ...


Cal is on the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic, returning to the United States in order to marry his 17-year-old fiancée, Rose DeWitt Bukater in Philadelphia. Although he behaves snobbishly, arrogantly, and abusive towards her, he does show genuine concern for her well-being, as demonstrated by pleading for Rose to get into a lifeboat during the sinking.


On April 12th, Cal is informed that his fiancée is being assaulted. When he reaches the poop deck, where this is happening, he learns that third class passenger Jack Dawson actually saved her from falling off the end of the ship. As thanks, Cal invites Jack to dine with the first class passengers the next day. After this, Cal gives Rose the famous "Heart of the Ocean", as a reminder of his feelings for her. He then asks her to "open her heart to him."


At dinner on April 13th, Cal watches, embarrassed, as Jack gets the attention of the dinner table with his life story. He then leaves for the smoking room with the other men. Later that night, Cal does not know where Rose is, so he sends Spicer Lovejoy, his manservant, to find her. He comes back telling him that he saw Jack and Rose in the third class general room dancing. The next morning, April 14th, Cal yells at Rose for her "excursions below deck" and tells her not to behave like that again.


Later, while taking a tour of the boat deck, Rose disappears. He sends Lovejoy after her, and at around 11:30 PM, finds a nude drawing of Rose, signed by Jack Dawson, and a taunting note in his safe from Rose. Cal and Lovejoy then devise a plan to get Jack arrested. As the ship hits an iceberg, Cal frames Jack for stealing the diamond (although he, Lovejoy and Ruth have secretly bribed the Master-at-arms to take part in the plan; he handcuffs Jack without further questioning), and Jack is arrested and trapped on the ship by the Master-at-arms. He then tries to get Rose into a lifeboat. After Rose remarks that half the people on the ship will die, he states "Not the better half," showing his contempt for the poor and underprivileged. Enraged, Rose spits in his eyes, and leaves to rescue Jack. Hockley was so shocked that he did not run after Rose.


Realizing that the ship is starting to fall apart, Cal and Lovejoy focus on getting into a lifeboat themselves. They return to Caledon's suite and take some money out of the safe. They then return to the deck to bribe First Officer Murdoch for a place on Collapsible C. After giving him a pile of twenty dollar bills, Murdoch agrees to let him on the boat. As it is being loaded, Cal prepares to get in when Lovejoy arrives, telling him that he has found Rose waiting for a boat with Jack. Cal leaves his chance of escaping the ship to find her.


When he finds them, he gives Rose the jacket that he had put the diamond in, forgetting that the diamond is in it, and tells her that he and Jack will be able to escape the ship in a different boat. When she gets in Lifeboat 2, she quickly jumps back onto the ship and embraces Jack at the Grand Staircase. Enraged, Cal takes Lovejoy's gun and begins shooting at them, chasing them down the Grand Staircase into the flooding reception room, where they escape into the dining room. When Cal reaches the reception room, he realizes that Rose has the diamond, but is afraid to go into the flooding areas. In a deleted scene, he sends Lovejoy after them, "promising" to give him the diamond if he can retrieve it, whereas in the novelization, he pistol-whips Lovejoy for telling him off.


With Lovejoy occupied in finding the diamond (weakened in the novelization), Cal returns to the boat deck in time to find Murdoch loading Collapsible A, one of only two remaining boats. However, Murdoch throws his money back at him, telling him "Your money can't save you any more than it can save me," and denies Cal entry into the boat, his only chance at surviving the disaster. Murdoch then kills an innocent man who has been pushed toward the boat and commits suicide when he realizes that he has done so. While the boat is being loaded by Chief Officer Wilde, Cal grabs a little girl and shows her to the officer, claiming that he is all she has in the world. Not questioning his credibility, Wilde lets him on. Before the boat can be lowered however, the water reaches the bridge rail and floods the forward deck, causing the boat to float off.


While still near the ship, people try to get on the boat, but Cal fiercely denies entrance to the boat to anyone once it has been filled, claiming that they will swamp it. While doing this, he witnesses the collapse of the first funnel, but is able to row the boat away from the sinking ship and save himself along with the other people in the boat. He then watches as the Titanic sinks with Jack, Rose and Lovejoy still on board.


On board the RMS Carpathia, Rose sees him looking for her, seemingly concerned for her, but she decides not to reveal herself to him. After surviving the Titanic disaster, he marries someone else and inherits his millions. Cal has at least two children. In late October of 1929, at the age of forty-seven, the stock market crash occurs, and hit his interests hard. Unable to deal with the loss of presumably most of his wealth, Hockley commits suicide by shooting himself in the mouth, or so Rose read. In a deleted scene, Old Rose reveals that "his children fought over the scraps of his estate like hyenas...". In the commentary for the DVD, Cameron states that his fate seems to fit his character, "that kind of people getting their just desserts."


Portrayed as the main antagonist of the film, Caledon Hockley is shown to be a snobbish, self-centered and proud man, who will do anything it takes to win the game or not lose either, clearly demonstrated by his attempt to murder his own fiancé after seeing her in love with a poor man. Another characteristic is his rather influencial manner, making him able to find no difficulty whatsoever in bribing or even intimidating anyone into attending to his belongings to his dirtiest work, such as countless stewards to keep Jack away from Rose, Officer William Murdoch into allowing a place for him on a lifeboat for women and children (although he is later the only person in the entire movie to reject a bribe from Cal), and even the Master-at-arms to go along with his plan of framing Jack for "stealing" his diamond and handcuffing him in his office despite knowing the ship was sinking. Despite this, he does seem to care for her, such as begging her to get into a lifeboat. These traits have even led fans to compare Caledon Hockley with a familiar villain, Gaston from Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Gaston is a fictional character and the main antagonist of Disneys 1991 animated classic Beauty and the Beast. ...

Ruth DeWitt Bukater

Ruth DeWitt Bukater

Born 1870
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Died 1968, age 98
United States

A typical example of an early 20th Century socialite, Ruth DeWitt Bukater is the mother of Rose DeWitt Bukater. The unexpected death of Rose's father has left Ruth and Rose in financial ruin. In order to secure her and Rose's welfare, Ruth is intent on having her daughter marry the steel magnate Caledon Hockley.

Ruth boards the RMS Titanic along with Rose, Cal, Spicer Lovejoy, and Trudy Bolt, Ruth's maid. Although Jack saved Rose from "falling,", she deeply hates and disregards Jack merely for his third-class status, and considers him a threat to her daughter's upcoming marriage. She shares a tender moment with Rose while she attempts to make Rose realize how much is at stake with the engagement.


When the ship hits an iceberg and starts to sink, Ruth considers the "drill" to be a nuisance. Upon hearing of her daughter's affair with Jack, she conspires with Cal and Lovejoy to frame Jack for stealing Cal's diamond and bribe the master-at-arms to go along with the plan. On the lifeboat deck, Ruth makes inconsiderate remarks about lifeboat seating. Disgusted, Rose defies her mother again and runs off to find and rescue Jack. Ruth, who had already gotten into a lifeboat, can do nothing more than to scream and beg for Rose to come back.


Ruth watches as the Titanic sinks, with her daughter still on it. She is in Lifeboat #6, with Molly Brown. The lifeboat does not return to pick up any survivors in the water.


It is unknown what happens to Ruth following the sinking. Since Ruth was penniless when she was on the Titanic, it is likely that she either had to spend the rest of her life ekeing out a living as a maid or seamstress and ultimately died in poverty. If she gained any money from lawsuits against the White Star Line, it would only be for possessions lost.

Spicer Lovejoy, a former Pinkerton detective, is the valet and bodyguard of Caledon Hockley. According to Rose, he was hired by Cal's father to "keep an eye on his little boy." He accompanies Hockley, Rose and her mother Ruth on the RMS Titanic, where he tells the porters where to put their luggage. Image File history File links Lovejoy_Titanic. ...

Later on, after Rose attempts to commit suicide and is saved by Jack, Lovejoy is seen tending to Rose along with Archibald Gracie. Despite surmising that Jack was lying, Lovejoy does not tell anybody.


Lovejoy is also ordered by Hockley to follow Rose wherever she goes, and he stumbles into the third class party, where he sees Rose dancing with Jack off-screen, Lovejoy informs Hockley of this.


Once again, Hockley orders Lovejoy to follow Rose, and once again does he catch her with Jack. Lovejoy angrily chases the laughing lovers all over the ship until finally losing them into the boiler rooms. Lovejoy reports back to Hockley, who finds the sketch of the nude Rose and a taunting note written by Rose.


Enraged, Hockley makes a plan with Lovejoy to get back at Jack and Rose. After the ship hits an iceberg and starts to sink, Hockley orders Lovejoy to place the diamond in Jack's pocket to frame him for theft. Lovejoy watches Jack in the master-at-arms room, punches him in the stomach and leaves him to drown.


Lovejoy finds Cal on the boat deck, and he still hasn't found Rose. They then focus their attention to entering a lifeboat, and Cal returns to his suite to get some money. He then bribes First Officer Murdoch for a spot in Collapsible C. However, at the last minute, Lovejoy reports that he has found Jack and Rose waiting for a boat. Lieutenant William McMaster Murdoch RNR (February 28, 1873 - April 15, 1912) was the First Officer aboard the RMS Titanic, and was one of 1,496 people who died when the luxury liner sank in the Atlantic in 1912. ...


Later, when Cal sees Jack and Rose embracing in the Grand Staircase, he grabs Lovejoy's gun and chases them into the dining room. When he becomes afraid to go any further because of the rising water level, he leaves. There is a deleted scene where Lovejoy chases after Jack and Rose in the dining room, ending with Jack beating up him and leaving him for death. The scene was cut for time and lack of test audience approval, but was compensated by an alternate scene in the novelization (he tells Cal off for going mad and is pistol-whipped in return).


Later on, Lovejoy returns to try to escape from the quickly sinking Titanic, but he is too late. By the time he makes it back up to the boat deck, the lifeboats are all gone. He stays on the deck until the ship split in two, and the deck breaks apart right between him. He manages to hold on to the ship momentarily, but due to his position, it is likely Lovejoy ended up in the water along with the other passengers if he even managed to escape the suction of water spilling into the huge crack.

Fabrizio De Rossi

Fabrizio tries to escape the sinking Titanic.

Fabrizio De Rossi was born in 1892 in Italy and is Jack Dawson's best friend. He believes that it is his destiny to go to America. When Jack wins the tickets, they board and meet Tommy Ryan, an Irish third class passenger. Image File history File links Titanic_Fabrizio. ... Image File history File links Titanic_Fabrizio. ...


When the ship hits an iceberg, he meets up with Jack at a locked gate. Jack, Rose, Fabrizio and Tommy join up and break down one of the locked gates, gaining entry to the higher points of the ship. In a deleted scene, Fabrizio meets up with Helga (his girlfriend) at a locked gate and asks her to come to the boats and save her life, but because of her Norwegian speaking parents that don't understand, Fabrizio refuses to let Helga go, with Fabrizio on the way to the deck, he tells Helga he'll never forget her. When they reach the boat deck, Jack sends Fabrizio and Tommy to check the other side of the ship for boats that are letting men on.


Fabrizio and Tommy find Collapsible A, but First Officer Murdoch is fiercely denying entry to the boat to men. However, someone pushes Tommy toward Murdoch and before thinking, he shoots Tommy. When he realizes that he has killed an innocent man, he shoots himself in the head. The boat is loaded by a different officer, and Caledon Hockley is let on when he fakes being the parent of a child. Before the boat can be lowered, however, the water reaches the boat deck and the ship threatens to pull the boat under. Fabrizio helps cut the ropes off of the boat, but the water washes him away from it and he is crushed by the falling funnel.


In the original draft of the script, Fabrizio is actually murdered by Caledon Hockley, who tries to stop him swamping a lifeboat by fatally hitting him in the head with an oar and sarcastically telling him to swim to his destiny (America).

He is presumably drowned when the grand glass dome shatters and tons of water surge in, still clutching the post. However, the real John Jacob astor was killed when the forward funnel collapsed and crushed him.

Main article: Charles Lightoller

The second officer on the Titanic. He is first seen arguing with Captain Smith that with no breaking water it would be difficult to see the icebergs (and thus he's recommending that Titanic's speed should slow down); an advice that Smith listens to but decides to ignore; ordering Lightoller to maintain speed and heading. When Captain Smith orders him to load women and children first, he unfortunately takes it too far and only loads women and children, lowering the lifeboats half full if no women want to enter. Mr. Andrews, however, was able to convince Lightoller not to lower any boats unless they are full. Unlike Murdoch, who was unable to control the gathering crowd, Lightoller was able to frighten the men from boarding the lifeboats before women and children do. This act was a good lesson for Fifth Officer Lowe, who along with Lightoller, were able to successfully load more passengers than Wilde and Murdoch did. He is last seen hanging onto the overturned Collapsible B. In the extended Carpathia sequence, he is seen balancing on the sinking lifeboat that was full of many surviving men saved by him.
