Third Officer on board R.M.S Titanic (1877–1961) he survived the disaster onboard lifeboat five. Post Office telegram, 8.5 x 5.25, sent at 8:57 a.m., and stamp-dated April 18th 1912 (approx 78 hours after Titanic sunk), sent to Mrs. W. Taylor, Pitman’s sister. Telegram shares the momentous news, that Officer Herbert Pitman survived and is safe, reading: “From friends pleased to hear Bert is saved.” A central vertical fold, a few creases and spots, and a mild shade of overall toning, otherwise fine condition.
