I have successfully answered my own question by searching this site...:o) I was very happy to hear about what happened to Ismay following the Titanic disaster. BUT VERY SADDENED to find that the movie Titanic depicted Ismay as a coward and pompis ass (please I hope not offend anyone) I feel any movie made about Titanic should be as real as possible to honor those who lived and died. I was appalled that The Movie bought into the newspaper ads rather than what happened in court. Should people have done their research they would have found that Ismay helped as many people as possible and didn't climb into a lifeboat until all the women and children he could see were saved. He and another man named Carter were ordered into the boat. Nevermind the fact that the people he and Carter were aiding were all 3rd class passengers. Nobody should have died that night not even Ismay...if he had a chance to live...he took it...and he shouldn't be made to feel guilty for doing so. He also was held accountable for the ships speed in the movie...but if you read the letters to and from the company...he was more interested in passenger comfort rather than speed. I'm not saying Ismay may not have been a selfish business man...I really don't know. But, he wasn't as guilty as every journalist made him out to be.

I was wondering whatever happened to Ismay once he landed in New York and handed court papers. I know that there was a lot of suspision as to why he survived while other builders of the Titanic went down with the ship...and why he was in such a hurry to leave the country again.
Does anyone know what happened in court? |
