Wilde: "You know what, I think I'll take the job. Titanic is a wonderful ship and the other officers seem like nice chaps."

Murdoch: *having a mental breakdown*

Lightoller: *pranking everyone*

Pitman: *makes confused noises*

Boxhall: *slams face into the wall*

Lowe: *aggressively pressing buttons*

Moody: *running around screaming*

Wilde: ......

Wilde: "This is fine."

Titanic Officer Barbie Movie Posters (and 1 fun fact about each of the officers!)

(Because why not)

Feel free to save as phone wallpapers 🙈

I’ve decided to include our babeypurser McElroy because the role of Purser is sometimes regarded as an officer role. Among all the officers, Lightoller (B), Pitman (5), Boxhall (2) and Lowe (14) survived the sinking. McElroy was the only officer whose body was recovered and identified; he was buried at sea.

Now to the fun facts!

Henry Wilde: he was already captain and was set to command the SS Cymric for the Liverpool to Boston Route. Unfortunately, the coal strike happened and his first voyage with Cymric was delayed to presumably 1st May. White Star Line decided to put him in onto the crew of Titanic as Chief Officer.

As you guys may know already, Henry Wilde is my favourite officer so it’s not surprising that I have been posting about him for this April. I also am currently doing a series of TikToks for his actions throughout Titanic’s maiden voyage as well🙈

Here’s my post about Wilde being made aware of joining Titanic

This is my post on the Crew Shuffle if anyone would like to read more about it

William Murdoch: Charles Lightoller thought his bestie’s moustache make him look ugly so he grew his moustache so that Will could shave. Nevertheless, we all think otherwise.

Charles Lightoller: of course, his role as one of the captains of the little ships during the Dunkirk Evacuation. He saved around 130 lives in it with his family yacht, the Sundowner.

Side note: currently, the Sundowner is a museum ship in Ramsgate but sadly, the yacht is in a bad condition and we need money to repair. I know I don’t have much high opinions on the British (yeah except Henry Wilde), despite having been living in England for almost 5 years, but Lightoller has been one of the most intriguing figures to me; being through 4 shipwrecks and fire, also living through Titanic, WWI, and Dunkirk, his story of hope and survival is worth a movie. If you would like to help preserving a piece of history, please consider donate to help save this famous getaway yacht little ship🙈

And here’s the campaign video by our TikTok Lightoller Fan Club President Melissa on saving the getaway yacht

Herbert Pitman: despite suffering from seasickness, this son of a farmer had a more than half-century long seafaring career, retiring in 1946. He started his career as an apprentice, then a deck officer and when he could not pass the eye test due to colour blindness at one eye, White Star Line made him a purser and he stayed in this position for the rest of his career. Pitman served in both world wars on troop ships; when he retired, he was a Lieutenant-Commander of the Royal Naval Reserves and was created an MBE in 1948, in recognition of his long service in the merchant marine.

Joseph Boxhall: he had a very happy marriage with his wife Majory and they were very fond of their dogs. This may be a substitute to children given that they do not have children together but anyways if anyone asked why you haven’t had kids yet, tell them about the Boxhalls and their doggos 🐶

Harold Lowe: he was a hobby artist who works with watercolours, as well as wood carvings. This may come across as surprising but you should not be surprised given that his father was an artist. There are a few of Harold’s drawings exists today, including a sketch of Titanic (in which he messed up with the funnels). Oh yes, he was also in the church choir as well when he was young.

James Moody: During his South American runs, he would sometimes flirt with female passengers with his very patchy Spanish and well, sometimes he just dropped in some swear words by accident. Yeah, in case you wondered, he’s not that shy as you thought after watching Ed’s portrayal of our daring Jim in the 1997 movie (the real Jim was quite cheeky actually).

Hugh McElroy: as the ship’s purser, he was there to take care of passengers’ needs (like he’s basically the “manager”). From parrot-tending (yes, and he trained the parrot to do morse code) to organising marriage ceremonies for runaway couples, he’s there to try to help. And as a result, he was a very popular man on the ship and passengers were honoured to share a table with him.

Why do I care so much more about the officers, who had a combined total of maybe 15 minutes of screentime in a 3 hour movie, than I do about Jack and Rose 🤣🤣🤣

Henry Tingle Wilde messing up his age on crew agreements and passenger & crew lists: a compilation

1. SS Persic (as first officer; he should have been 29)

2. RMS Cedric (as second officer, ship’s maiden voyage; he should have been 30)

3. SS Medic (as chief officer; he should have been 35)

4. RMS Titanic (as chief officer, ship’s maiden voyage; he should have been 39)

Hello I was wondering if you could draw wild and his family

Hi.

I have to prepare their designs, first (right after I'll watch Despicable Me 4 - the designs of all family members will be a part of the editing process of the Wilde family tree in my AU), but then, I may get to it and draw them together :-)

Maybe as if it was and old photo?

Pitman and Boxhall: *quietly lay next to him*

Sometimes I looked at Henry Wilde’s letters and just wondering what’s going on and here’s probably an instance where his in-laws opened his letter to his daughter Jennie to see whether he’s coming back home.

(Still working on the transcript, would be posting them on my Henry Wilde sideblog @htwilde later)

‘I have been keeping alright only very miserable. I have had so much time this trip to think of my terrible loss no work of the ship to occupy my mind. If Pollie had only been spared to me how pleased she would have been to see me in this ship I had looked forward to so much to get command for her sake, so that she could have had an easier time with someone to look after the children. How I missed her nobody knows. I loved her so much Annie, and to be taken from me, it is too cruel to think of.’

Letter to Annie Williams (née Jones), sister in-law of Henry Wilde, 20th April 1911, onboard S.S. “Zeeland”
