# 1 Titanic Fan, I think James Cameron used a little artistic liscense when he had Ismay say "retire with a bang". Cameron made this scean in refference to a first class lady (Luciean P Smith maybe?) stating at one of the inquiries that she overheard Ismay talking to Smith about beating the Olympic and getting into New York early. This was of course denied by Ismay. He even said that the company had nothing to gain by getting into New York way ahead of schedule.
Nevertheless, even if this conversation happened, and it might have, it would trickle down to Captain Smith as being responsible. The captain of a ship at sea is the closest thing to God on earth. There is no over -ruling his authority (unless mutiny), even if you are his boss. |
