His book “Guide to the Crew of Titanic” is a staple in the Witness Titanic library. This week, we ask him about all of this and more!

He had been a telegraph operator for less than a year, but thanks to an iceberg - and a bombshell interview in the New York Times - today's witness was thrust into history. In PART ONE of Harold Bride's testimony, we enter the wireless room, begin the search for a rescue ship, and learn how this 22-year-old gave Titanic the voice she would desperately need.
