Identifying Murdoch?

[Aly Jones]

I've came across a pre titanic image. Image captioned (officer centred) possible Murdoch serving on the addric with Captain Smith 1907/09?. We do know Murdoch sailed with Smith pre titanic. No doubt Clearly captain Smith is visible.

Does anyone know for sure if this officer is 100% Murdoch?

Not my image. Belongs to S. F Bowen collection.

Most people I have discussed this photograph with agree that it is indeed Will Murdoch. I've not had anyone doubt it as yet.

Thank you.

I was looking very hard at those 2 images of Murdoch and I can see in both images a certain slight curve with his ear. (the earlobe).
