No, Captain Smith's body was never recovered. Some accounts say that he went down with the ship, others that a man with a voice sounding remarkably like Smith's was heard in the water after the ship went down, calling out to ask if there was any room on one of the lifeboats. When told that there wasn't, the voice replied that it was alright, not to worry and wishing all the survivors Good Luck and God Bless. One of those abord the boat pointed out that the voice sounded like the Captain's, whereupon a search was made to track down the mysterious stranger, but to no avail.
It may not have been Smith at all, but even if it was, he would quickly have succumbed to hypothermia in the sub-zero temperatures his body would not have remained afloat for long. Wearing his heavy woollen uniform, Winter greatcoat and heavy sea boots, these would quickly have become waterlogged and pulled his body down into the deep.

Who is the Titanic owner?
The Titanic was a grand and luxurious, British passenger ocean liner, owned and operated by White Star Line. It was 882½ feet long. It was the largest ship built in its time. Thomas Andrews, the head of Harland & Wolff design department, designed the Titanic. From 1908-1909, over 15,000 Irish shipyard workers built the ship. Each worker was paid about $10 a week. The Titanic was known as the "unsinkable ship". The Titanic was called "unsinkable" because the ship had a double bottom. The hull was divided up into 16 watertight compartments. The ship was built to stay afloat even if two of the middle compartments, or four of the front compartments flooded. So, the ship was considered "unsinkable". Captain Edward John Smith was the captain of the Titanic. Captain Smith had a 12-year-old daughter, Helen, and a wife, Eleanor. Captain Smith was 63 years old when he became Captain of the Titanic. He had been a captain for White Star for 38 years. He said that this would be his last voyage. After being the captain for the Titanic's first voyage, he was to retire. On April 10, 1912, the Titanic left port, bound for New York. It was a grand ship. In the first-class lounge, there was a wonderful, wrought-iron and glass dome. Under the dome, was the Grand Staircase, where first-class passengers usually met for dinner. The natural light from the dome shone down on the beautiful, oak wall paneling and the oak railings of the staircase. On the wall, at the top landing of the staircase, were two figures, symbolizing honor and glory, surrounding a small clock. The dome shattered during the sinking. On the second night of its voyage, April 14, 1912, at 11:40 p.m., the Titanic struck an iceberg off southern Newfoundland. The Titanic was sailing at 22 knots (25 m.p.h.) when it hit. At 12:45 a.m., the first lifeboat (Lifeboat No. 7) was launched. Many of the third-class passengers were not able to get to the lifeboats. Many could not read the English signs, so they could not find the way to the lifeboats. Around 20 minutes after the crash, Captain Smith had an S.O.S. message sent out. At the time, the S.O.S. message was not a common distress call. The Titanic was one of the first ships to use that type of distress call. At 12:55 a.m., the first distress rocket was fired. The Californian, a nearby ship, thought that they were shooting off fireworks for a celebration. At first, many people thought the Titanic was not going to sink. But then, at 2:02 a.m., the last lifeboat (Collapsible B) was launched with 30 people on it. By 2:20 a.m., the Titanic was completely underwater. Titanic was not going to sink. But then, at 2:02 a.m., the last lifeboat (Collapsible B) was launched with 30 people on it. By 2:20 a.m., the Titanic was completely underwater. Seven hundred six people survived, but 1,516 people died along with Captain Smith. The wreck was considered the worst in history, which made people agree to improve the safety at sea. The Titanic rested undisturbed at the bottom of the sea in ruins. In March of 1914, a Denver inventor located the site of the Titanic with plans to raise it, but was unable to complete the task. A man named Jack Grimm searched for the Titanic three times, but never found it. Finally, on September 1, 1985, Dr. Robert Ballard and his team discovered the Titanic 12,460 feet down on the ocean floor. After they realized that they had found the Titanic, they had a memorial for all the people that died in the sinking. After the memorial, they looked at what they had found. They reported that the smokestacks were missing, and the ship was in two pieces. About a year later, Robert Ballard made a small submarine named Alvin, and visited the wreck. On their first journey to the Titanic, they saw that it was covered in rust. There was still a bench, a light fixture and even some men's boots. Robert Ballard left a plaque asking future explorers to leave the Titanic in peace. So, today, it still lies where it sank.

Why did the titanc hit the ice berg?
What I hear happened was the Titanic had gotten massages about iceberg fields ahead but Capt. Smith still had the Titanic cruising along at maybe 24 knots, and it's highest was 25 knots. The men in the crows nest spotted the iceberg with only their eyes, and they rang the bell. The Titanic was turning and it seemed to not hit but it did. If the men in the crows nest had had binoculars, which were in a locked locker (because a crew member was put off the ship for another, and he by mistake took the key to the locker.) they could have spotted it quicker and therefore the Titanic would not have hit the iceberg which in fact was a blackberg.
