    Who was the Trinity House pilot who took the Titanic out of Southampton on her first and only passenger voyage?

    Question #106834. Asked by davejacobs.

    ArlingtonVA

    The Trinity House pilot was George Bowyer.

    The first link is a Google Books page. "...Trinity House pilot George Bowyer was aboard" is in the second line, in the page box on the right.

    Second link still works for me. Bowyer is covered in the 5th paragraph:

    "On the day of departure Boxhall was on the navigating bridge, working the engine room and docking bridge telegraphs on orders from Captain Smith and the Trinity House Harbour Pilot George Bowyer."
