Stanley Lord (13 September 1877 – 24 January 1962) was captain of the SS ''Californian'', a ship that was in the vicinity of the RMS ''Titanic'' the night it sank on 15 April 1912 but which did not come to its assistance. == Early life == Lord was born on 13 September 1877 in Bolton, Lancashire, England. He began his training at sea when he was thirteen, aboard the barque ''Naiad'', in March 1891. He later obtained his Second Mate’s Certificate of competency and served as Second Officer on the barque ''Lurlei''. In February 1901, at the age of 23, Lord obtained his Master's Certificate, and three months later, obtained his Extra Master’s Certificate. He entered the service of the West India and Pacific Steam Navigation Company in 1897. The company was taken over by the Leyland Line in 1900, but Lord continued service with the new company, and was awarded his first command in 1906.〔(Captain Stanley Lord - Titanic Biographies - Encyclopedia Titanica )〕 Lord was given command of the ''SS Californian'' in 1911. Lord was married and had a son. His wife, Mabel, died in 1957, and Lord died in 1962, when it was suggested that the stress of attempts to exonerate himself had contributed to the deterioration of his own health after his wife's death. Their son, Stanley Tutton Lord (1908-1994) married, had children, and died of natural causes. He rarely spoke of his father, except to say he believed in his innocence. In 1965 he wrote a preface to a book by Peter Padfield, ''The Titanic and the Californian'', which supported the case for Lord having been judged unfairly. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stanley Lord」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
