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.

Why clutter the decks, he argued, when the ship itself is a lifeboat?...	15th October 2011

When he left the sinking ship, Ismay stepped into a bottomless well.

	guardian.co.uk	HOW TO SURVIVE THE TITANIC, OR THE SINKING OF J BRUCE ISMAY BY FRANCES WILSON ... - THE GUARDIAN In the end, the subject of this fascinating book is not just historical or biographical uncertainty, but psychological and moral ambiguity. 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
