Captain Edward J. Smith, Bruce Ismay, Thomas Andrews and the Sinking of Titanic
The true actions of three key individuals on Titanic’s ill-fated maiden voyage – Captain Edward J. Smith, shipbuilder Thomas Andrews, and White Star Line chairman Joseph Bruce Ismay
Titanic literature is full of misconceptions about the actions and motives of key individuals involved. When George Behe set out to write a book thoroughly documenting the activities of the Titanicโs Captain Edward J. Smith during his vesselโs maiden voyage, he soon realised that Smithโs activities were intimately intertwined with those of two other โtop officialsโ in the Titanic story โ shipbuilder Thomas Andrews and White Star Line chairman Joseph Bruce Ismay. With that being the case, he expanded his coverage to include all three men โ men whose post-disaster reputations differ from each other as greatly as night differs from day.
This gripping study examines exactly what each of these three pivotal figures in Titanicโs story said and did across Titanicโs doomed maiden voyage, culminating in their vastly differing fates, cross referencing all the various survivor accounts and correcting many false impressions and muddled ideas along the way.

Dan E. Parkes –
Behe does a sterling job in building a more detailed and nuanced portrait of these three men than has been made previously. These fine brush strokes help define them as human rather than something out of myth and legend.”
