Most of everything I know about the Titanic came from seeing the movie, so you’ll pardon me if my pained analogy relies heavily on the movie and assumes most of the history stuff is pretty much gospel. If the captain hadn’t have gone down with the ship, you’d have fired him, right? I mean, the annoying corporate guy for the White Star Line pressured him into going too fast, for sure. The buffoons in the watch tower didn’t have their binoculars. Yeah, I get that. The whole thing was exasperated by a poor design with a lack of lifeboats.
