That is a loaded question! Many people blame Bruce Ismay; who by the way started to call the ship unsinkable. It is believed by many people that he pressured Capt. Smith who had never faced such a serious situation in his entire career. He was an older man who was expecting to retire after that voyage. Ismay could very easily have threatened him in some manner such as not getting his full pension. Remember that this was over 30 years before Social Security was even thought of. From everything that I have read I believe that Ismay was largely to blame.
