Four officers on Olympic picture

[Kritina Johnston]

Does anyone know where I can find a good copy of the photo taken on the Olympic's bridge, with Murdoch standing on the left, Smith on the right, and two other officers in between? I thought it was in the Marriott book, but when I went to check it, nada. I saw it on the Net a long time ago, but Googling provides no results in that direction.

There's a nice copy of this photo in Geoff Tibballs' Readers Digest Titanic book. I've also seen copies for sale on eBay recently.

*Smacks self in head*

DOH! That was the book I was trying to think of!!!! Thank you!!!!!

I did a check on Ebay to find the picture...couldn't find it, but did come across the weirdest thing...since when did Millvina Dean autograph the iceberg photograph?

Hi Kritina.. I saw that same book on sale on eBay.. Just look under Titanic books. There's a copy of it for I think it was only like $8.00. Hope this helps. I have that book and it is a good photograph. Sincerely, Melissa K.

That is a great picture! But here is a better question: Who are the other two people in the photo?

Dave

I think (and I'm guessing here, don't quote me on this), but I think one of them is Joseph Evans. I have no idea on the other one...and I may even be wrong about both!

 

[Melissa E. Kalson]

Hi Kritina & Dave.. You're right Kritina.. the gentleman next to Murdoch is Joseph Evans but I'm not sure who the other one is. Maybe Inger could let you know as I'm not sure either. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Melissa K.

I believe the other man is 4th officer David Alexander.

Is this photo of the officer's on the Olympic Bridge or Titanic's Bridge? The officer standing next to Smith looks like James Moody, and James Moody has only sailed on Titanic.

Is it a Titanic Bridge photo?

No. That image was taken on board Olympic.​

 

[Dave Gittins]

The photo shows officers of Olympic. In the rush to print stories just after the sinking, the papers grabbed the first photos that came to hand.

The men are, left to right, William Murdoch, Joseph Evans, David Alexander and Edward Smith.

Thank you for clearing things up.I should have knowen it was not Titanic! The officer's were wearing white tip caps, which on board of Titanic they never wore.It's good to know for sure.
