I agree with you! I have always admired Harold Lowe for the same reasons.

I read once that while in the lifeboat, he told the ladies to have a nap, and also that they should sing songs such as "roll out the barrell" I don't know how true that is, but it made me laugh at the thought of it...(maybe that says more about my emoticon sense of humor)

 emoticon Holly!

Welcome to the board...and interrupt a way, b/c Wolfldy is no longer here.

5th Officer Lowe was indeed a brave man...for him to go back to rescue those still alive survivors, after Titanic sank. I like him too, but...my heart still and always will belong to Will Murdoch. <sigh>

Re: officer lowe.

Murdoch was too a good man. He was kind and by the book as far as loading those lifeemoticon. I was kind of upset when they portrayed him in Jc's Titanic as someone who would have taken a bribe. He was certainly not that type.
My fave will always be Lowe for his heroic efforts to rescue those poor souls. I like Moody too, and am quite baffled as to what happened to him; though I have my theories for reasons I can not explain.
PS: MA, who is wolflady?

Re: officer lowe.

AHHH that is a great few posts there. I agree Lowe was indeed a hero that night.
Murdoch as well .. As for how he was portayed in jc's movie.. well I don't agree with it. IF he did "Commit suicide" it was not in good character for him to show it.

As for the heros that night. I would like to voice my opinion on the matter if nobody minds of course.

Whom are the true heros ? well good question ... was the ones whom remained behind while others lived heros? YES!!!!
Were the ones whom chose to get into life emoticon heros?Yes...though I can understand why they didn't go back .. however that to me was unacceptable.. they disobeyed a direct order form Murdoch himself.
It doesn't show good character on their part.
How about the engineers? the marconi men? yes yes they are all heros... everyone became hero's that night in one way or another.

to behold such tragedy and to survive it ... is something incredible all it's own . because of the "survivors" we are able to know bits and pieces of what happened .. though of course we will never know for sure .. however..

In my eyes everyone that night whether they were in the emoticon, the water, or literally died on Titanic .. they were all very much hero's in my book.

My hat goes off to each and everyone of the 2,227 passngers and crew aboard her that night,

Will emoticon emoticon

Very well said Wills...I agree. As far as the others that got into the emoticon despite orders, Im not sure that I wouldnt have myself in that situation. That has got to be one of the most frightening ordeals to know that if you stay on a ship, you're going to die a horrible (and cold) death. Im not sure what I would have done in that situation

Re: officer lowe.

That is a great way to look at it Holly.
However some ..not all..but some did refuse a seat in the lifeboat and they decided to go that way.. and that is another point of view to look at.

All I got to say about those people is VERY NOBEL!!!!!!! What a sacrifice to know that you are going to meet a horrible fate, but you still give up your seat for the good of others...those people were indeed heros in my book.
