That would be Quartermaster Robert Hichens, who received the order "hard-a-starboard!" He turned the ship to port (steering a ship to port, or left, meant turning the wheel to starboard, or right), exactly as he was trained to do. He ended up in Lifeboat 6, where Margaret Brown (the infamous "Molly" Brown) wrested control of the boat and encouraged the women to row.
