I dont understand how everyone admires him when he is the one who took decision of increasing the speed and ignore the lack of boats to save everyone’s lives. How is he a “Hero”
Wrong it was Ismay who called for them to speed up. Captain Smith was comfortable with the speed they were proceeding at. Ismay wanted to get to New York earlier. As for the life boats, the original design had enough, but Ismay ordered Mr Andrew's to remove some of them because Ismay felt the deck would look to crowded.
I imagine it wouldve gone something like " well E.J, you had a good run. My story is just one of thousands, and like all stories it must have an end. Although i didn't think it would end like this, im at peace with it..." and as Captain Smith took a final breath, water burst into the wheelhouse and the honorable captain was submerged in the icy water, and piloted the front half of the ship to its final resting place at the bottom of the sea... That was kinda poetic, im proud of myself.
Yeah I'm sure they had plenty of people that wanted to "play" Captain E.J. Smith, but everything had to be perfect and I'm sure the designers of Titanic exhibition were indeed picky and rightfully so.
Further, Titanic was not racing to beat a record. It was impossible for her to best Lusitania or Mauritania. At worst, Smith is guilty of going too fast, but that was common procedure for North Atlantic captains in such a situation.
USSManhattan Actually, the Titanic couldve easily outran the Lusitania or Mauritania. The Titanic was not only the biggest ship of its time, but also the fastest. And E.J only ordered full speed because Ismay told him to, Ismay ran White Star Line, White Star Line pays E.J, do you see why he had no other choice? It was entirely Ismays fault and Ismay was too much of a coward to pay for his mistake, instead he let Thomas Andrews and Captain Smith die on the ship, Andrews believing it was his own fault, E.J died because it was the honorable thing to do.
@coolweirdo34 captain smith was to blame he had overall control of the ship and he still kept full ahead when he was aware of ice he only went down with the ship because it was part of his duty as ships master
TheTraveltube It wasnt E.Js fault. He ordered full speed because Ismay told him to, Ismay ran White Star Line which is the company that pays E.J. Also he was asleep when the Titanic hit an iceberg. So thats even more proof that it wasnt his fault.
@@cmderfox5396lol he knew that there were icebergs all over and decided to increase the speed and what is worst that he allowed to have less boats to save all the passengers bc “it didnt look good”. He is one of the persons to blame and should be remembered as a genocide
"Modern ship building has gone beyond that" hehehe when you bosses say "we have the best" and they collide in the very next turn of events Humans should never be overconfident. You always have that loophole that GOD keeps saving you from. But when you say "it is unsinkable", GOD lifts away his support.

I can’t tell if this is someone dressed as him or if it’s real I’m pretty sure footage would be black and white and he would be at least 130 years old cause he was born in 1850. This is fake
This is true this is right before the people rode the titanic and this is a video this person found or at least maybe he is family to a survivor from the titanic!!
blakegriplingph Actually, Captain Smith was considered one of the best Captains in history, he never sank a ship aside from the Titanic, or failed a test. And he was asleep when the ship hit an iceberg, so it wasnt E.Js fault. Also he was retireing anyway. Even if the Titanic lived then he wouldve retired, he was really old and had been sailing for decades.
FYI the captain of the Titanic made 3.5 million dollars a year in todays dollars with a Stellar Career that included stinits in wars and commendations from military and merchant navys there is more to him than meets the eyes and the true story of the disaster is much more complex than 2 second soundbytes
R.I.P. captain Smith 😭😭❤
"A voyage you will never forget"
Oh you can count on that
You were a great Captain!
I dont think so
R.I.P Captain Smith:(
"I promise you it will be a voyage you will never forget."
Oh the irony. And likewise considering the museum is reported to be HAUNTED!!!
Which Museum is this in?

is amazing the resemblance to the real Captain Smith
We love you Captain Smith.❤❤❤❤❤
CAPTAIN SMITH was RIGHT on TARGET 🎯 ...
A VOYAGE YOU WILL NEVER FORGET !!!
I farted
@alina ferrell
Actually, back then, the captain would go down with his ship. It was considered the honorable thing to do.
I remember him from Tennessee, read the book “Diving into the Deep” it is about his life. He is very interesting.
Of course. Any ship that has enough lifeboats for less than half the crew and passengers must be safe.
One has to wonder what his last few thoughts were, like as he was hearing the glass windows crack.
Rob M oh shit
I imagine it wouldve gone something like

Cmder Fox I like it...well done.
Rob M I would imagine his last word was AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGFHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Sigurno je pomislio "Trebao sam ući u čamac jebote !"
awesome.
He retired forever....
Good luck captain, hope the voyage goes well
All love to Captain JSmith
Tuan hung Vo He failed miserably
He allowed to increase the speed and to have less boats to save the passengers
God speed to you good Captain
I love Captain Lowel. He's amazing to work with. We need him back at the Pigeon Forge Ship ASAP!!!
You can say that again. Unlike any other in history or pre-history.

and there were some eye witnesses that say he jumped over board with Andrews after the lifeboats were all gone
i was wondring if i can take your places as CAPTIONE love sean weisser RI P SMITH i pry for you
How did they summon his spirit?

yes...
Smith
@BigBossMITM100 wow talk about not being that far off.
Sir, can I ask if you actually survived the sinking of the Titanic?
This can't be true, video footage wouldn't have been this good back then and he disengage aboard titanic....
American accent ?
Sounds more crossed British American to me
@@AussieGunzel it’s Liverpool
NEVER GiVE UP 🎹
Is this actual footage of him in real life
No
No it’s an actor.!
@reinildo4 - Uh, babelfish?
"Modern ship building has gone beyond that"

Humans should never be overconfident. You always have that loophole that GOD keeps saving you from. But when you say "it is unsinkable", GOD lifts away his support.
I think someone even said “not even God can sink this ship”
God didn’t like that I’m sure 😅

Who knows, WSL was a rich company, they could have had high quality footage.
@Janyre88 I KNOW RIGHT?!
Captain smith he is found on the iceberg in the year of 1990
cool
I'm actually using my grandpa's phone
I didn't know Captain EJ Smith was an American :-P Always thought he was British...
timbearcub he was British... he was born in Hanley
That was the joke ;-) Obviously missed my dry British humour...
timbearcub I actually missed it tbh 😂
he looks like him, that's weird
dancefreak3980
Shaggy, rits a rhost!!!
This can't be true he died on titanic and video was not this good back then
Cleo Schaefer This is 100% true authentic. White Star had video recorders far more advanced than anybody else in the world.
This is an actor you idiots. Probably filmed in the 1980's
Idk if this is real i mean it does'nt lok like captain Edward smith cause he had a white suit
This is true this is right before the people rode the titanic and this is a video this person found or at least maybe he is family to a survivor from the titanic!!
Foot in mouth
fake this did not happen during this time captain smith retired when he passed away
uh ofc you retire when you die btw the person you see is a actor
why does this look fake
Fake
No shit.
Titanic sank in 1912.
They didn't have colour cameras back then.
Andre 16039 you are an idiot. Did you not know that people have found a way to restore color
@@kevenknight2859I think you might be the idiot to that this is real
He retired because he sucked at sailing the effing ship.

@@cmderfox5396 Smith actually planned to remain the captain of Titanic until White Star Line completed a better or larger liner.
@@cmderfox5396Good job, the message couldn’t be any clearer. You did a good job at explaining what a wonderful captain he was.
@@cmderfox5396he could be considered superman. He still sucks and Sink the Titanic
