Legally speaking, a captain is responsible for his ship. Morally is another matter. Quote: as the titanic officer at the time was murdock and captain had retired to bed Murdoch was the officer on duty; I am not aware of any primary source evidence stating Smith was asleep. Quote: and qas well it may be phillips falt as he tolled the carphia to shut up when they wer sending him an ice report as they were stuck for the night when he was working cape race in newfoundlaND Phillips interrupted the Californian's transmission to him. Other researchers have pointed out that Phillips was entirely right to do so as the Californian's operator had not addressed the message correctly. Quote: WITH PASSANGER MESSAGES and we cant really point fingers at enyone for this accident so it will remain a mistery I agree finger pointing is not really acceptable. What we can do is come to a greater understanding of what happened by assessing the available evidence in its totality. Best wishes, Mark. |
