Mr Bride. Passengers on RMS Titanic. Photograph of Mr Bride, the young wireless operator who assisted Phillips, the Chief Operator, during the crisis. Mr Bride, like most of the operators on board ships, was quite young. He apparently assisted Phillips very efficiently during the critical hours on the Titanic. Titanic was built by Harland & Wolff in Belfast Ireland during 1910 - 1911 and later sank on April 15th, 1912 off the coast of New Foundland after striking an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York, USA, with the loss of 1,522 passengers and crew.
