Out of all the people whom was criticize by the media, he is the one that i believe most deserved it. Not only did he not want to go back, which may I remind you was against the wishes of most onboard, but he had the nerve to call the people that was struggling in the water stiffs. On top of that, he did not want to…

That's why they called him the Millionaires Captain. He seemed to be more of a promotional tool, in order attract the rich and famous. That'll explain why he was the ideal person to command their newest ships on their maiden voyage. Than again, the rich and famous were sort of promotional tools themselves. I'm pretty…

I'm really impressed you brought up Elizabeth Lines Testimony. Rarely hear people mention it.

Or it could've been fabricated. Thanks, your really informed on the subject as well. Lol I read over 15 books on the Titanic, including a book on the transcripts of the British and U.S. inquiry.

It didn't take them 2 hours and 40 minutes to load all the lifeboats and send them off. That implies they started loading the lifeboats directly during or slightly after the collision (11:40pm). They actually started to take precautionary measures well after the collision(12:45am). Remember, they wanted to survey the…

Elizabeth Lines testimony would be classified as hearsay. Nobody, (I mean out of all the people whom testified in front of the U.S. and British Inquiry) ever backed up Elizabeth Lines testimony. Ismay gave a justifiable compelling argument to refute what she testified. So again it's he said she said.

I don't know if I would say that it redeemed the mistakes they made earlier. 1500 lives would possibly say otherwise. Whether the sinking was a direct result or not, it played a role in it.

Phillips may not have known. Yet how many ice warnings did Bride and Phillips fail to deliver to the bridge? If I'm not mistaken they prioritized commercial messages (passenger messages) over ice warnings. Bride even stated he didn't remember certain ice warning(even though the inquiry had transcripts of the…

The reason I can't blame Cyril Evans, is because he was the lone wireless operator on the Californian. If I'm not mistaken he worked approximately a 12 hour shift, so I can't blame him for not being on the Marconi apparatus. If anything, I would wonder why the crew of the Californian never woke him up. I've forgotten…

It's unbelievable how much accountability there is to go around. Smith was accountable for not being a competent leader. Those in charge of the lifeboats once it left the Titanic, should've been held responsible. If I'm not mistaken, the plan was to lower the lifeboats half full or less than half full(because they…

I can't lie, he really did.

Smith seemed to be lost from the beginning. His incompetence had nothing to do with Ismay. Not only did he cancel the boat drills that was scheduled for that Sunday, he just caved under the pressure of being a Captain, at a time when he was needed the most, with over two thousand lives at stake. He was so lost during…

If theyre going to hold Ismay accountable for the shortage of lifeboats(even though the Titanic had more than the required amount according to the board of trade standards) than wouldn't the blame also go on JP Morgan? He was the true owner of The Titanic. Technically it was his money that financed the construction of…

If I'm not mistaken, William Randolph Hearst started the negative headlines, such as J. brute Ismay, and columns, because of his personal dislike for Ismay. As for it being partially his fault(in reference to the sinking) that's all speculations. Obviously, they were going to hold him accountable. Not only was he the…
