Yes, Edward John Smith [January 27, 1850-April 15, 1912] was an experienced Captain. He brought almost 50 years of seafaring education and experience to his position as Captain of the Titanic. As a 13-year-old, he began his apprenticeship on the Senator Weber, which was owned by A. Gibson and Company of Liverpool. By the time that he was 30 years old, Smith was 4th Officer of the Celtic, of the White Star Line. Seven years later, in 1887, he became the White Star Line Commander of the SS Republic. The next year, he became a Full Lieutenant in the Royal Naval Reserve. In 1895, Smith served as Captain of the Majestic for nine years. During that time, he was a troop transporter for the Boer War. For his service, he was awarded the Transport Medal for safe seamanship by King Edward VII [November 9, 1841-May 6, 1910]. In 1904, the Captain became White Star Line Commodore over all other captains.
