William Carter has dedicated his life to his future. At 18, he works as a steward on the RMS Titanic, the grandest ship ever built. While passengers see luxury, William sees opportunity. Every railing, bed, and shift brings him closer to his dream of becoming a ship’s officer. Born in Southampton, he knows hardship. He works hard, stays quiet, and rarely complains, even when exhausted. Beneath his calm exterior is a kind, witty, adventurous young man eager to see more of the world.
