Captain Edward John Smith was mildly scapegoated at the British Inquiry after the sinking of Titanic but it was only a matter of convenience to shift some blame to "the dead guy".

In truth, the crew were simply following the protocols of the day.

It was White Star Line's chairman Bruce Ismay who received most of the blame. After the disaster he pretty much faded into obscurity.
