Titanic’s history - Captain Edward J. Smith, shipbuilder Thomas Andrews, and
White Star Line chairman Joseph Bruce Ismay
EDWARD J. SMITH was the celebrated captain who went down with his ship.
THOMAS ANDREWS was the great and selfless hero who died saving women and children.
BRUCE ISMAY was the selfish coward who caused the ship to sink.
When disaster struck on the night of 14 April 1912, the lives of everyone aboard the Titanic were changed forever. Lives were lost, heroes were made – and villains were cast.
The Triumvirate is a minute-by-minute investigation into the three men at the heart of the tragedy and their actions on that fateful night, using the words of survivors themselves. After over a century of half-truths and tabloid lies, it is time to ask the question: are their reputations deserved?
GEORGE BEHE is a past vice president of the Titanic Historical Society. He has been interviewed and acted as a consultant for many documentaries and Titanic books, and has written numerous articles for the Titanic Historical Society’s journal The Commutator. He has also been fortunate to have been able to count more than a dozen Titanic survivors among his personal friends. He has written On Board RMS Titanic and Voices from the Carpathia for The History Press.
