Lord Mersey is dumb as far as I'm concerned. I think they really need to clear his name. Notice how Sen. Smith says "I am not pleased to mention the shortcoming of others." And Lord Mersey with his "The Californian could have pushed through the ice without any risk and saved most, if not all lives."
What both fail to mention. Is that if the Titanic had enough lifeboats, ALL could have been saved. It was mainly the fault of the Board of Trade regulations. That and the White Star Line. And that was the main problem with Titanic, if you have enough boats. The problem is solved. Regardless of who gets there in whatever time. The crew on the Californian weren't Gods. They did the best they could have given the situation.
I notice no one in the Board of Trade or White Star Line, other than Ismay were forced to resign.
