"I confirmed the distress message by asking the Titanic if I should report the distress message to the captain of the Carpathia." "How much time elapsed after you received the Titanic's distress message before you reported it to Captain Rostron?" "About a couple of minutes," Cottam answered. When the committee resumed the investigation on April 20th, Cottam was recalled to the stand.
There was only one operator Cottam on board, and although he was assisted to some extent later, when Bride from the Titanic had recovered from his injuries sufficiently to work the apparatus, he had so much to do that he fell asleep over this work on Tuesday night after three days' continuous duty without rest.
A certain Richard Cottam, called "Cockle Dick," was the last man seen in them. Ancient Crosses and Holy Wells of Lancashire, by H. Taylor, F.S.A., p. 37.
Cottam, it was known, had been taken at York, scarcely a week ago, and, it was said, would certainly suffer before long. They talked in low voices; for the shadow was on all their hearts. It had been possible almost to this very year to hope that the misery would be a passing one; but the time for hope was gone.

Thomas Cottam, of Liverpool, the Marconi operator on the Carpathia, was the next witness.
I told her we had been to the wreck and had picked up as many of the passengers as we could." Cottam denied that he had sent any message that all passengers had been saved, or anything on which such a report could be based. Cottam said he was at work Monday and until Wednesday.
Cottam Church and the farm adjoining it are all that now exists of what must once have been an extensive village. In the church is a Norman font of cylindrical form, covered with the wonderfully crude carvings of that period.
