Biography

Born in London, Bartlett served six years with the British-India Steam Navigation Company before joining the White Star Line in 1894.[1] He was appointed as an officer in the Royal Naval Reserve in 1893.[2] He is perhaps best remembered as the captain of the Britannic from 1915 to November 1916, when the ship was sunk off Greece by a German-laid mine. After the war he served as Royal Naval Reserve aide-de-camp to King George V. Bartlett was known as "Iceberg Charlie" to his crew due to his alleged ability to detect icebergs miles away.[3] He retired in 1931 and died in a nursing home in Waterloo near Liverpool on 15 February 1945 at age 76.[4]

In popular culture

Captain Bartlett was portrayed by John Rhys-Davies in the 2000 Fox Family Channel movie Britannic.
