What is the captian of the Titanic?
Captain Edward John Smith, (27 January 1850 - 15 April 1912) was the captain of the RMS Titanic on its maiden and only voyage (April 10, 1912). He was a very well-known captain for the White Star Line, and Titanic's maiden voyage was going to be his last before retirement. After organizing the necessarily-incomplete evacuation of passengers, he went down with his ship. In the 1997 film "Titanic" he was portrayed by actor Bernard Hill.
Who thought the ship titanic was going to sink?
Nobody really knew that Titanic was going to sink until Thomas Andrews confirmed it to Captain Smith at 12:25; 45 minutes after the collision.
Was captin smith drunk when the titanic sunk?
No. Captain Smith was a very responsible captain who had several decades of experience behind him. He was off duty at the time of the collision and was preparing for bed. The reason the iceberg wasn't seen in time to turn was because there was no moon to reflect light off the berg and the ship was going too fast. It's debated that Smith ordered it to speed up under the direction of the ship's owner, but regardless, the ship was too large to turn in time anyway with such a small rudder. Also note that the lookouts did not have binoculars- a last minute crew change ended up causing them to leave port without the keys to the locker with the binoculars in them.
What did the captin of the Titanic do wrong?
Not slowing down in a dangerous situation. Actually, the captain was getting annoyed because of everyone calling him that when the californian called him to warn him he said SHUT UP. So its the captains problem.
