Definitely not the Captain! Nor was it the engineers' fault, or the fault of anyone on board. The trouble came because the Titanic was not finished when the White Star Line people insisted on a publicity cruise.

Most water-tight doors and some water-tight bulkheads (walls) were not in place, so when the water poured into the ship from the ocean, it could not be limited to just one or two small locations. It poured into more of the ship than the ship's buoyancy could support.
