UNITED STATES TITANIC INQUIRY
Friday, April 19, 1912Evening
Senator Smith calls Harold Cottam to the stand.
Cottam was Carpathia's wireless officer. After the rescue of Titanic's survivors, Cottam spent the entire voyage to New York sending messages about the disaster to a point of near exhaustion. Eventually, Titanic's surviving wireless officer Harold Bride would assist him with the tasks. Cottam will be called to testify five more times during the length of the inquiry.
