Was Captain Smith To Blame For Sinking The Titanic?

Captain Edward Smith stayed on the boat while it was sinking. He was an English naval reserve officer. He

Why did the Titanic sink? Who’s to blame for this imprint on the timeline of humanity? How could the guilty let this happen? All of these questions could be answered with one man, Captain Edward J. Smith. As Ballard’s Exploring the Titanic says, “(Captain Smith) was a natural leader and was popular with both crew and passengers… thirty-eight years’ service with the White Star Line… had an excellent safety record.” This seems like the guy you would want to captain a great ship like the Titanic, and at first he was. But, as the ship’s voyage progressed he started to forget his duties and take this trip as some getaway time for himself to enjoy. This idea of his endorsed his mind until he only visited the bridge every couple hours. When the iceberg

Do you know who is responsible for the sinking of the Titanic? Well if you don’t it’s a very important thing to learn because, this is part of our history. I believe Captain Smith is responsible for this sinking in 1912 because, he was entirely responsible for the control of the ships wheel.

It is important to us because the Titanic would still be here today if He looked for the iceberg. Many people are dead today because of His actions. The saying “the titanic is unsinkable” was false. Fred Fleet is responsible the sinking the titanic because he didn’t say anything to anyone, he didn’t do his job, he ignored the captain which is illustrated in how many people survived and how many people who could of survived but didn’t.

While reading the three passages about the sinking of the Titanic and collecting textual evidence, Captain Smith’s decisions and behavior are responsible for this disaster. Many reasons come to this decision because Captain Smith caused decisions that were not right for the safety of the people on the ship. Before the boat even took off, the boat caught on fire. One of the articles explains how even though the boat was not safe before they took off, the crew still had many people go on board when circumstances just happened. This was one of the many warnings the crew received.

On the night of April 14, 1912, the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank to the bottom of the ocean. I believe the events that happened that night were all due to what Bruce Ismay did. Mr. Ismay ordered the Titanic to go full speed, he lowered the bulkheads so he could fit more people on the ship, and he ordered to take out lifeboats so that there could be more rooms for people on the ship. You could argue that it’s Captain Smith’s fault, but he didn’t do as many wrongs as Bruce Ismay did. All in all, Bruce Ismay was the biggest contribution to the Titanic sinking.

Mary Bou Literature 7 4/16/15 Being a captain of a ship is a tough job, especially when you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing. Captain John Smith was the captain of the Titanic. He was the captain of many other ships in a series called the White Star Line. The White Star Line is a series of ships, and he was a captain of some of those. The Titanic was kind of a disaster because as captain, Edward J. Smith’s role in the sinking of the Titanic included the fact that his boat did not meet the safety standards; he did not heed the ice burg alerts, and yet he chose to go down with the ship.

“Out on the decks, most passengers now began to move toward the stern area, which was slowly lifting out of the water.” confirms author Robert D. Ballard in Exploring the Titanic. But, why were these conditions crucial, and why did people have to take charge during the dreadful night of the Titanic's sinking. Who was to blame for the sinking. It could’ve perhaps been the messenger, the ship's builder, or maybe the captain. It could've just been one of them or it could’ve all three of them. The designer was experienced but maybe just not enough.

The RMS Titanic is a passenger liner that sunk in the North Atlantic in 1912 after hitting an iceberg. About 1,500 of the estimated 2,224 passengers died. The ship sailed full speed despite ice warnings, preventing it from stopping or steering away from the berg. Watertight compartments flooded, causing Titanic to go under. These details are supported by accounts and physical evidence, and therefore, widely accepted as truth. However, there's a few alternative conspiracy and architectural theories.

Most people believe that the sinking of the Titanic was unavoidable and that there was no way for to avoid the iceberg, but this simply isn’t the case. The reasons as to why the Titanic struck the iceberg and sunk as fast as it did is due to the captain ignoring safety protocols, use of cheaper materials to save money and a design flaw with the ship’s watertight compartments. The first error that lead to the Titanic sinking was due to Captain John Smith ignoring safety protocols. The Olympic, the Titanic’s sister ship, had already sailed the same route that the Titanic was taking and Captain Smith wanted to beat the time that the Olympic took to complete the voyage (Boyle, 2012). As a result, he had the ship travelling at full speed even though

Have you ever wondered who was responsible for the sinking of the Titanic? First of all, it's important because hundreds of people lost their lives on the ship. People should care about this because it was the most devastating thing of the century. Robert Hichens is responsible for the sinking of the Titanic because he was the one responsible for steering the ship and he was also a big bully. Now, I know you think Captain Smith is responsible because he had the ship going at full speed, but Hichens steered the wrong way too late.

Captain Smith is the first person I thought could’ve caused the Titanic to sink. Captain Smith planned a special dinner for some first class people. If he didn’t plan it that night he could’ve stopped the Titanic from sinking. But also he was not concerned about the warnings they got about the icebergs. Either he thought it would blow over as they go and there wouldn’t be any icebergs in their way or he heard about the icebergs himself.

There were many possible causes for the Titanic sinking, yet some were more blameable than others, and some may have had nothing to do with it at all.

The captain was given a warning from passing ships, but they continued traveling at a fast speed even when they knew there were icebergs in the area. They also had the binoculars locked in a locker. Because the lookouts were forced to rely on their eyes, the didn’t see the iceberg in time to avoid collision. They did have enough lifejackets for everyone on board, but ignored the fact that there were not enough lifeboats for everyone. They also were not filling up the lifeboats to full capacity; this caused more deaths. The Titanic could have prevented this event from
