forever remembered as the man that piloted Titanic. Although many believe that

his actions lead to the massive ship’s 1912 sinking and the deaths of over 1500

Olympic, and swore that after Titanic’s first voyages he would retire for good.

On this episode we discuss Captain Edward J. Smith, RMS Titanic.
