On the bridge trying to save the ship Wrong...In the movie that last place that the captain was seen in was the steering room. Where the wheel was. The water was about to bust through the windows, and it did and that's the last place we see the captain at.

Captain Smith, as is tradition, was with the last of his crew to leave the ship, but probably did not intend to perish. There were reports that he was seen in the water, but of course it was too cold to survive in for very long.
Captain Smith did go down with the Titanic. There is some uncertainty as to the exact details. On its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York, the British luxury liner Titanic sideswiped an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. on Sunday, April 14, 1912, and was badly damaged. The 882-foot (269-meter) long liner, whose eight decks rose to the height of an 11-story building, sank two hours and forty minutes later. Of the 2,227 passengers and crew, 705 escaped in 20 lifeboats and rafts; 1,522 drowned.

Famous as the greatest disaster in transatlantic shipping history, circumstances made the loss of life in the sinking of the Titanic exceptionally high. Although Capt. E. J. Smith was warned of icebergs in shipping lanes, he maintained his speed of 22 knots, and did not post additional lookouts. Later inquiries revealed that the liner Californian was only 20 miles (32 kilometers) away and could have helped, had its radio operator been on duty. The Titanic had an insufficient number of lifeboats, and those available for use were badly managed, with some leaving the boat only half full. The only ship responding to distress signals was the ancient Carpathia, which saved 705 people.
Yes, Captain Smith chose to go down with the ship. It was quite sad, actually, but he felt responsible for the ship's disaster.

Who was the sailor of the Titanic?

I'm pretty sure you mean the Captain of the ship. The Captain of the RMS Titanic was Edward James Smith. He had planned to retire after Titanic was seen safely across, but he stayed with the ship. As the saying goes, "The Captain goes down with his ship"; E.J. remained on Titanic, like the honorable man he was. He was last seen, according to a variety of accounts, on the bridge, watching the disaster. In my own opinion, I do believe he was blaming himself for the tragedy that had unfolded.
