Yes, but think about it. He had taken messages early in the morning(Caronia, Noordam) to the bridge. Yet 3 very important messages never made the bridge. Why? (example) If your a wireless on a bus, and I tell you the bridge is out 5 miles down the road, and your job is to just rely the messages of the passengers. And you know this is ahead of you...now it becomes unimportant? I never said what he did after 12:15am wasn't heroic. It was to an extreme. But understand his actions before then. Jack KNEW of ice right ahead of Titanic. I can understand he was tired and what not. But his actions could have very well caused the Titanic to hit that ice. That is if the officers had know of this danger ahead and reduced the speed/altered the course. I'm just trying to be realistic here.
