It was customary at the time for the captain to go down with the ship, especially if others were dying on board. If the ship was sinking and all others on board were already saved, the captain does not have as much of an obligation to it.
It sure was a different time period. Back then captains had a sense of duty to their ship and those on board. There are many good captains today, but look at the ones that have recently had disasters (i.e. Captain of the Costa Concordia, captain of the Oceanos, etc- abandoning the ship without helping passengers).
