A lot of people may call Ismay a coward and traitor. But if you were in the same situation as him. What would you do? I'd guess a lot would've stayed on the ship. But it makes me wonder.. was it his cowardice or his survival instincts. He too was only a human and he acted like a human would..trying to survive. He may have been coward, especially during a time when women and children came first. But after this catastrophe Ismay lived in recluse and hid from society. He too went down with the ship
Of the 58 men who survived, Bruce Ismay, the Managing Director of the White Star Line, received the most criticism, and in 1913, Ismay resigned from his job and from public life. London society labeled Bruce Ismay one of the biggest cowards in history, and both the American and English press ruthlessly attacked him. Some papers even published cartoons of Ismay deserting the ship.
Bruce or.. Ismay as you know him as is no coward.. he is a hero! he saved many people that day, helping women and children and even shouting out asking "are there any women and children still on board this ship!" no one awanserd so he saved himself just like all the other people on that ship.... james cameron didn't know a single thing about titanic... and just assumed this, he has ruined a man's honor!
What Would You Have Done!?

@MrSoulMechanic you don't know anything about Joseph Bruce Ismay... I do he did NOT say to the captain to speed up that was the captains decision and I have the documents to prove it so wheeeyy
people were way to harsh on Ismay the man saves lifes before getting in a life boat and he was persuaded to get in and so was captain smith but captain smith refused to get on and its sad he died alone without one leg.
I am sorry, but I have read plenty about Ismay, and his greed and manipulation of the shipping trade in the early 20th century caused the death of people who need not have died. He paralyzed other ships that folks on the Titanic were not meant to be on by shifting all the coal available to this one vessel. He had blatant ice reports in his pocket and ignored the danger. he prompted Capt Smith ( because he was his superior ) to run at over 20 knots in a confirmed danger zone . No rest for you

Ismay was treated way too harshly. The film portrayal was absurd. It showed him as a devious coward. One of the worst scenes in the film was the scene where he is shown to have named the ship "Titanic" due to some male self-esteem problems. Anyone who knows anything about Titanic, Olympic and Gigantic (later renamed Britannic) is that they were named for mythological beings. Awful depiction. RIP Mr Ismay.
I do not know enough about the man to damn him, I merely said a little of what I had read at the time of posting the video. I have since been reading more about him and I can see that opinion is based, sometimes, on the opinion of others. I read a fascinating piece about Randolph Hearst and his hatred for Ismay, which, with the power Hearst had, would no doubt have influenced the opinions of the opinion makers!
