Reefton - the Town of Light(ollers)
Summary
Hosts Carlo Ritchie and Tim Batt explore Charles Lightoller’s controversial memoir, *Titanic and Other Ships*, in this episode of *Did Titanic Sink?*. They detail Lightoller’s strict enforcement of "women and children only" on port-side lifeboats, contrasting it with First Officer Murdoch’s more flexible approach. The discussion covers the chaotic sinking, including the fate of Collapsible B, and Lightoller’s heroic command of survivors on the overturned boat until rescue by the Carpathia.
