Charles Alfred Bartlett

Commodore Charles Alfred Bartlett CB CBE RD RNR (1868–1945) was a merchant seaman and Royal Naval Reserve officer, who achieved command status with the White Star Line shipping company. Bartlett is perhaps best remembered as the captain of the HMHS Britannic during World War I, from 1915 to November 1916, when the ship was sunk off Greece by a German-laid mine. Bartlett was known as "Iceberg Charlie" to his crew due to his alleged ability to detect icebergs miles away.^[1] Born in London in 1865, Bartlett served six years with the British India Steam Navigation Co. Ltd. before joining the White Star Line in 1894.^[2] Bartlett retired in 1931 and died in his home Feb. 14, 1945.^[3]
