She was able to beat her projected ETA, but she was not capable of taking the existing record for the route-
Not sure about course change, but Smith as captain holds responsibility for the safety of his ship and passengers. If Ismay did order such a thing,and he complied, the captain would bear full responsibility at a board of inquiry for anything resulting since his is the legal responsibility in a court of law. The fact that the managing director of the line ordered it would not absolve the captain of doing something he knows to be dangerous. Jim :pint: |

Capt. Smith from what little I've read was a product of his generation of liner captains. They took a lot of pride in the size and power of their ships which tended to promote a feeling of invulnerability in them. The prevailing logic and I've read that Capt. Smith embraced it was that the best way to deal with potential danger in ship's path was to push on through quickly and get it behind you. Lesser ships like Californian may have to stop for ice warnings but not Titanic, by God. Like so many other things it was this thinking that Titanic's sinking helped to change.
