No, he was cleared of any direct culpability in the Titanic's sinking at bothe the American and British Enquiries into the disaster. However, many people regarded it as shameful that he had survived when so many poor Third Class passengers had not, and he was held in disgrace.

He resigned as managing Director of the White Star Line soon after the tragedy, and spent the rest of his life living in seclusion on the West Coast of Ireland until his death in 1937, wracked with guilt and shame over the disaster. Although the tragedy was not his fault, he nonetheless felt personally responsible for the loss of so many lives and held himself to be little better than a mass murderer.
