His plan was to be involved in colonizing Virginia. Not only would it generate profit, but he was to also govern a portion of the colonies.

He didn't find it. He came after Jamestown was established and took over command of the half starving men who were left.

Why did Captain John Smith let the Titanic sink?

The name is Edward Smith. He listened to Bruce Ismay when he told him to go faster. When the ship hit the iceberg, there was nothing he could do at that point. There weren't enough lifeboats on the ship, not enough for half the people. Captain Smith would not have taken one of those lifeboat spots for himself of course, so he had no other option but to go down with his ship.
