Second mate on board the Titanic (1874–1952), the most senior officer to survive the disaster. Collection of 12 items, with a couple relating to crew member Colonel A. Fitzgerald: a Certificate of Discharge, signed “C. H. Lightoller,” one page, 5.5 x 8, dated June 28, 1944. A discharge issued to deck hand A. Fitzgerald, signed by Lightoller as Master; Fitzgerald’s June 5, 1944, confidential orders listing Lightoller as skipper; Fitzgerald’s certificate of proficiency for a gunnery; a small patch from his uniform; a postcard from Fitzgerald, dated June 11, 1944, mentioning his armed vessel will be heading to Loch Ness and “hope to have a view of the Loch Ness Monster”; and seven original 4.25 x 3.25 unpublished candid photos of the crew and vessel, including one picturing Lightoller, patrolling Loch Ness. In overall very good condition. Forever dogged by his time on the Titanic, Lightoller retired in the 1930s. However, he used his own boat to help rescue soldiers during the Dunkirk evacuation.
