It may been taken aboard the Titanic, I am pretty sure that lightoller never served on the Olympic. Wilde and Murdoch and Smith were the only officers that served aboard the Olympic,and that picture above is diffenetly is Lightoller.
In this case,I believe it is a picture of Lightoller on the Titanic bridge.

I agree it could possibley be the Titanic as Lightoller transfered from the Oceanic and boarded the Titanic during the sea trials stage of Titanic's life. So itt dosn't surprise me as the window layout looks quite similar to that of the Titanic's bridge windows

I made a mistake with my post before....I meant to say that it is not the Olympic bridge cause Lightoller never served on the Olympic.

Was Lightoller British or American? I have heard a radio interview with him and he has a slight American accent???

Lightoller is a British man,only British men were allowed to be hired as officers to work on the Titanic.
Lightoller may have a bit of an American accent,he would have spent alot of time in America.

That is the first time I have heard anyone suggest an American accent  ;D. No, Lightoller had a slight speech impediment.

Just incase it hasn't been posted before, here on the BBC Titanic website you can hear Charles Lightoller talk for himself about the sinking, not just him either, amazing.......
