A Titanic question - when did the Southampton pilot GEORGE BOWYER leave the Titanic?
I cannot seem to find the details anywhere - Was he dropped off after the ship left Southampton or did he stay with the ship and if so for how long - I cannot find him on any lists.

George Bowyer retired and moved to Milford-on-Sea. His place of burial is in Dorset.
"Soon after the the noon departure time from Southampton, of 10 April 1912 Pilot George Bowyer left the ship at the Nab lightship"
So I typed in:
the Nab lightship of southampton
and got the link to a passage in a book called 'Unsinkable: the full story of the RMS Titanic
By Daniel Allen Butler' Chapter 2 page 42.
Hope that helps.

A couple of stops before they went out to sea.
Wednesday, April 10, 1912 " . . . Well before sailing, the pilot, Captain George Bowyer walks aboard Titanic, and the pilot's flag is immediately run up."
Thursday, April 11, 1912 " . . . The Titanic throbbed to life . . . A brief stop to drop off the pilot at the Daunt light-ship followed by a wide turn to starboard, the green fields of Ireland slipped past."
