Arthur Peuchen was barely installed in his suite at the Waldorf Astoria when he began regaling newspaper reporters with vivid tales of his escape and scathing denunciations of Titanic’s captain, Edward John Smith, and of the White Star Line’s managing director, J. Bruce Ismay, whom he accused of “criminal negligence. “I cannot repeat too strongly that J. Bruce Ismay knew of the presence of icebergs, but deliberately took a chance, for reasons which he can best explain.” Peuchen became a star witness at the ensuing U.S. Senate investigation of the Titanic horror.

npr.org	'HOW TO SURVIVE THE TITANIC,' AND SINK YOUR NAME J. Bruce Ismay probably shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as any of the true criminals of the 20th century, but for many years he may have been the most universally despised man in the Western world. Ismay, heir to the prominent British White Star Line shipping company, owned the Titanic, and he's the one who said it would be fine to put just 20 lifeboats on a ship that could hold 2,800 people. Why clutter the decks, he argued, when the ship itself is a lifeboat?...	15th October 2011

Ismay became a kind of modern ancient mariner, endlessly trying to explain himself, but his solipsism meant that the 1,500 people who died on the Titanic collapsed into the intractable problem of his disappointment in himself. As Conrad's narrator Marlow finally realises at the end of Lord Jim's story: "Nobody, nobody is good enough."...	12th August 2011
