I wouldn't have lit the last boilers. I would have been too much of a coward to go down with my ship, so I would've gotten into a life boat (then feel guilty for the rest of my life). I would have taken caution...especially because I was handed an Ice-Burgh Warning! There wasn't really anything else he could do! It wasn't reallly the poor guys fault at all!!

Not left an inferior junior officer at the helm, taken the safety of the ship, it's passengers and crew as priority and not give a damn about speed records, make bloody sure that every junior officer is aware of the ice burg warnings and if all that leads to the same fate of the ship, supervise the loading of lifeboats myself making sure every available seat is filled.
Lastly, have one last drink with my officers who would accept their fate knowing their leader has also. Not ONE of my officers would leave that ship knowing passengers were still on board.

Insisted there have been the splendid volume of lifeboats in the previous I even left port. as far as I understand (splendid me if i'm incorrect) yet is the secure practices of the passengers no longer the main suitable accountability of the captain on a deliver? besides - i might certainly have had a satellite tv for pc telephone tucked away purely in case ;-)

Option 1--I would have found and beaten the poo out of DiCaprio, turned the ship a few minutes earlier...placed the #2 in charge, retired to my quarters, gotten hammered and hopefully had the company of one of the female staff.
Option 2 --I would have found and beaten the poo out of DiCaprio, turned the ship South and headed for the Bahamas, no iceburgs down there..and then placed the #2 in charge, retired to my quarters, gotten hammered and hopefully had the company of one of the female staff.

Hi. Nothing. He was a very experienced Captain and probably did his best. They may have survived it the ship just ran straight into the iceberg (less flooding) but ...

Ran straight into the Iceberg, believe it or not the Titanic was made for head on collisions

I'd check that I was definitely sailing the Titanic 'before' I set off, rather than realizing I was wrong as it starts to sink.

Well I sure hope I wouldn't have gone down with the ship. I know it's tradition and all that, but to hell with tradition when your life's in danger!!
Other than that, if you're referring to his response to the alleged pressure to push the Titanic beyond recommended limits well, I'm certainly not one to say I wouldn't have given in to that kind of pressure.

1. Ignored Bruce Ismay's orders to speed up
2. Chosen a more southerly route with less bergs
3. Made sure there were enough lifeboats on board for all

I'd of taken that inside knowledge and captained my own lifeboat ahead of time. Forget going down with the ship!
