I'm curious about something.
I've looked at hundreds of pictures, read books and studied.
Titanic's officers have a certain swagger that comes through in their photographs.
From Smith to Lowe and everyone in between, theses men carried themselves with great pride and presence.
It does come through in the photographs.
I have a print of the surviving officers that hangs over my desk, Lowe, Lightoller,Pittman, and Boxhall.
Each man to a T stands, upright, shoulders back, chin out; with attitude and swagger.
It had to be a great source of pride to be an officer on the world's greatest technological marvel, wouldn't it?
And then, many years later to have survived the disaster, and be interwoven in the lore and the legend.
Not to overly romanticize it, but were the gentlemen the 1960's Astronauts, with the "Right Stuff," but only in the Gilded age?
I for one think so.
I'd be curious to hear your opinions.
Thanks in advance!
