There's the old stupid suck hole. He kept at full speed, having had ship warnings from others about icebergs that night, but at the urgings of the vessel owners and his own slob-ego had the mutts on watch stay at full speed, to make a record crossing time etc. The Titanics' loss was one of the best examples of Human Error in history!
@fuhmeregan I totally agree with your excellent comment, at last someone who has logics and knows what he's talkin' about !!!
Lots of stupidity and arrogance on board of Titanic that time , a long list of mistakes and misconductures that was unthinkable even for the naval standars of 1912 , a dumb-fuck commander acting as an irresponsible douchebag and still there are people with selective logics and moral values who praise him only x the movie ....!!
Excellent footage of my favorite Captain... I stumbled upon these videos a few months ago and I was happy to know that there was some video footage of him.
This video was obviously taken on the Olympic, probably on a voyage to a more tropical area (hence the white uniform).
Smith was an excellent Captain, and it's sad that he had to die on the maiden voyage of the Titanic... One of the reasons being that he would be retired after the trip!
But good ol' E.J. and Titanic will be in our hearts.
what does that german text that comes up at 00:10 say? can someone translate it? if you pause it at just the right time you can catch it. i did, its hard to read but its something like "-fur att kolla att ufrustning och besattning uppfyllde alla krav."
I met (and got on video) Millvina Dean in Red Deer Alberta back in 1998. Only 2 survivors left from the ship. She was only a baby then... but can still say she was there! There are pics of her on the Carpathia.
The Titanic will not be gone in 2012 if that's what you mean. The Titanic will probably be disinigrated 100 years from now. Fortunately, Titanic will never be forgotten. Pictures and stories will always remain. Along with the plates, stainless steel, bronze, and our hearts.
Wow! 2012! exactly 100 years. It is said for something to happen in 2012 that will destroy earth. I found that kinda scary of it being 100 years in 2012..
yes captain smith on the titanic voyage wore a dark blue suit, here he wore a white one on the olympic, this is round about the time of the accident with the new york vessel.
Actually.... that is footage of Captain Smith on the Olympic. That is why you see that flapping thing in the film. After the sinking, they 'scratched' out the flags that would give away it was the Olympic, I forget where. But that is the actual ship he is on.

That sounds more like swedish, and since the clip is from a swedish site then .. yeah :).
och besattning uppfyllde alla krav means that the crew did all expetations .. but the other thing, it don't know :).

It's swedish, it means:
To check that all equipment and the crew forfilled all demands.
