People: Crew: Lowe, Harold Godfrey


Died
1944

Position on Titanic
Fifth Officer

When Harold Godfrey Lowe was a child, he wanted to be a sailor. At the age of 12, he had to swim half a mile to shore after one of his father's boats capsized. When he was 14, he ran away from home, and served on schooners for seven years. After that, he switched to square-rigged ships and then steamers. This is where he earned his certificates. He also served in the West African Coast, and then joined White Star.

Lowe never really had a proper education, but was an enthusiastic seaman and a plain spoken individualist. He was spoken highly of by fellow crew and other passengers after the sinking, and he was the only one to return to look for survivors.

Lowe, like his fellow crew man, never made it to Captain, but he held the rank of commander in the Royal Naval Reserve during World War I. He then eventually left the sea, and went to his home in North Wales. After this, he became very active in polictics.
