There are conflicting reports as to what happened to Captain Edward Smith. Some believed he swam out to Collapsible B after Titanic sank, but died of hypothermia soon after. Others claim he jumped from the bridge into the water but was never seen again. The most popular belief was that Captain Smith went to the bridge's wheelhouse room and drowned as the ship sank.
The Titanic began being constructed on March 31, 1909, and was launched on May 31, 1911.
Titanic's collision was at 11:40 PM. She floated until 2:20 AM (after midnight) when her stern sunk in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Titanic stayed afloat for two hours and forty minutes after the collision with the iceberg.
First Officer William Murdoch was in charge of the ship when it crashed. Captain Smith was the official captain, but Murdoch was, I believe, in charge at the moment. Many people don't know that the damage would have not been as much if they collided with the berg head-on. Titanic probably would have stayed afloat long enough for most to survive and for help to arrive.
Not long. Between the spotting of the berg and the collision was less than forty seconds.
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.
