Who was Edward smith's father?
I assume that you are referring to the Edward Smith who was captain of the Titanic. His father was also called Edward Smith and worked as a potter in the English county of Staffordshire- he and his wife later owned a shop. His birth and death dates are not publicly known.
But there was another Edward Smith who was an 18th Century English Tory politician, and an Edward Perry Smith who was an American criminal who took part in the infamous Clutter family murders in Kansas in November 1959, and was executed by hanging aged 36. If you are referring to either of these two, or another Edward Smith altogether, please submit another more specific question and I'll try to answer it, as Edward Smith is a very common name.
How much money did first class tickets cost on the Titanic?
Prices for sailing First-Class on Titanic varied, especially with different levels of luxury. According to historian Randy Bryan Bigham "The Duff Gordons were charged about 39 pounds (Cosmo) and 56 pounds (Lucy). Lucy's ticket apparently included her secretary, Mabel Francatelli. Leontine Aubart's 69 pound ticket also seems to have included her maid's fare. Margaret Brown paid about 27 pounds for her E Deck cabin and Edith Rosenbaum's A Deck room cost the same."
On his first trip to Canada his crew included members from trips to Norway but many had already crewed the ship to their New World destination. They had been on the very same boat when Bjarni came within sight of a heavily treed land.
We also know that the man he spent much of his early life with was with him Thyrker. I wouldn't call him crew mate, as he may very well have been the Captain or First Mate though history does not say so.

What do the smoke staks do for the titanic?
To start off with, on a ship the "smoke stacks" are known as FUNNELS. On the Titanic the forward three funnels vented the smoke and ashes from the 29 boilers below. The 4th funnel was a fake. This made the ship more grand and in proportion, along with giving her a sense of power and speed. The same thing is done today. Two of the Disney Cruise ships have rear funnels that are fake. One of them houses a nightclub.

Who Was Frederick Fleet Married to From The Titanic?
He was one of the chief look-outs, and was on watch when he and his colleague Archie Jewell first saw the iceberg looming up out of the darkness. He immediately telephoned through to the bridge with the cry "Iceberg, dead ahead!" but by then it was too late for the huge liner to turn enough to avoid a collision.
Both Fleet and Jewell survived the disaster- Fleet was cleared of any culpability at the Official Enquiry, although he was scapegoated by some of the surviving crew members who blamed him for not having seen the 'berg approaching sooner (in fact, he could not possibly have done).
He never returned to sea, and spent the rest of his life as a newspaper seller on the streets of Southampton. Although he became a popular local character and was always kind and friendly, he became depressed following the death of his wife and committed suicide in 1965 by hanging himself from the washing line in his back garden- he was 78 years old. Buried in an unmarked grave, he was finally given a headstone in 1993 by Titanic Society Inc.
Jewell went on to serve in the Merchant Navy in WW1 and died when his ship the Donegal was torpedoed in the English Channel on 17th April 1917.

How did the presence of the Labrador current contribute to the sinking of the titanic?
The sea of icebergs came from the Greenland Glaciers, and it was carried there by the Labrador Current. So, very likely the Titanic was in the middle of the Labrador Current, and the water temperatures that faithful night was also due to that current.
Why wasn't the number 13 used as a room number on the titanic?
Many people are superstitious about the number 13. Most high-rise buildings do not have a floor numbered "13", for example; floors are numbered 11, 12, 14, 15 and so on. Friday the 13th is (sometimes jokingly, but sometimes very seriously) considered to be unlucky.
What effects did the titanic have after hitting the iceberg?
Well it must have gone a couple of metre's then stopped when the boat tilted at an angle but their is a possibility that i could have gone backwards because the boat was put into reverse to try and stop the collision. But it cant have gone far simply because it was sinking there was no point in going anywhere if your sinking.
Did they find any human remains inside the Titanic wreck?
The answer is no, because its been since 70 years after it sank and the bodies will well rotted away and the amount of pressure from the depth of 12,000 feet below sea water would of certainly crushed the bodies and dissovled them. But it maybe possible if the body was well closed in rooms which theres no access to bacteria to enter the body but the chances are very low.
