25.01.2022 An interesting article: Whistle Belonging To The Hero Of The Titanic Comes To Light After A Century By Marco Margaritoff Published June 12, 2020... The trove of Titanic artifacts headed to auction all belonged to fifth officer Harold G. Lowe who saved dozens of lives on that ice-cold night in the Atlantic. Whistle Of Harold G. Lowe Henry Aldridge & Son Its unclear whether Lowe blew this exact whistle that night, though the fact that it belonged to a true hero is yielding interest enough. In April 1912, the RMS Titanic sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean taking over 1,500 passengers with it. An invaluable collection of items belonging to a heroic officer who survived that terrible shipwreck is now headed to auction. According to Fox News, these items belonged to fifth officer Harold Lowe. Revered as one of the heroes of the tragic incident, Lowe not only potentially served as the literal whistleblower of the maritime disaster but commanded the 14th lifeboat and rescued survivors from the icy waters. After delivering the passengers on his lifeboat to safety, Lowe was the only officer to go back to the wreck to pull more survivors out of the water. In James Camerons movie version, hes depicted as rescuing Kate Winslets Rose during this brave return. Lowe, who was born in North Wales and respectfully portrayed by Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd, was 29 at the time of his Atlantic heroics and remained a sailor after the incident. He died in 1944 at 61 years of age. This is the first time any of these items from his archive have been up for auction. Photograph Of Harold G Lowe Henry Aldridge & Son Lowe remained a sailor after the disaster, and died at 61 in 1944. Harold Lowe was without doubt one of the heroes of the Titanic disaster, said auctioneer Andrew Aldridge of the British auction house in question, Henry Aldridge & Son. As he loaded women and children in the lifeboats it is said he ordered J.Bruce Ismay, the managing director White Star Line, to get out of his way, telling him you will have me drown the lot of them, if he didnt. No other officers dared turn back toward the wreck, as they feared desperate and freezing survivors would overwhelm the boats. Lowes unique bravery has been celebrated ever since, imbuing even his whistle with deep significance. Though Aldridge is careful to note, It is unknown if this was the whistle Officer Lowe had on Titanic, however it is without doubt his Officers whistle. The whistle, engraved Lieutenant H.G. Lowe RNR (Royal Naval Reserve), is listed with a pre-sale estimate of $2,526 to $3,788. The auctions vast roster of items also includes a signed photo of the Titanics officers aboard the rescue ship Carpathia, a telescope, and more.
