Harold Thomas Cottam (27 January 1891 – 30 May 1984) was a British wireless operator on the RMS Carpathia who fortuitously happened to receive the distress call from the sinking RMS Titanic on 15 April 1912. Cottam's decision to awaken Captain Arthur Henry Rostron and relay Titanic's message in spite of the scepticism of the officer on watch allowed Carpathia to arrive at the scene hours before any other ship and is "credited with saving hundreds of lives." He was a personal friend of the Titanic's junior wireless operator and survivor Harold Bride.

  • Harold Thomas Cottam (Southwell, Nottinghamshire, 27 de janeiro de 1891 – Lowdham, Nottinghamshire, 30 de maio de 1984) foi o radiotelegrafista do RMS Carpathia quando o pedido de socorro SOS do RMS Titanic foi enviado. Ele foi o responsável por informar o capitão Arthur Rostron que um sinal de socorro urgente havia sido recebido do Titanic. Sem a sua diligência, e as circunstâncias um tanto fortuitas, o número de mortes no desastre poderia ter sido maior. O turno de Cottam já havia terminado e estava prestes a ir para a cama, mas manteve seus fones de ouvido para ouvir as notícias de Cabo Cod, quando ouviu uma mensagem de Cabo Cod dizendo ao Titanic que havia gelo próximo a eles. Cottam contatou o Titanic por rádio e perguntou se eles haviam recebido as mensagens de Cabo Cod, como respost (pt)
