Bravery and bad judgment. Boldness and blunders. Courage and cowardice. Heroism and heartache. Captain E. J. Smith, Commodore of the White Star Line and highly regarded as the "Millionaires Captain," was in charge of the world's largest and most luxurious ship. Entrusted with the Titanic's maiden voyage, Smith soon discovered that fate intervened in the form of an iceberg, and the grand ship sat mortally wounded in the icy Atlantic. The airwaves, alive with distress calls sent out in the hope of an at-sea rescue, reached the Carpathia. This modest Cunard passenger ship and Captain Arthur Rostron took charge of the situation. Responding to the frantic SOS messages, he and his ship sped to the Titanic's aid, rescued the survivors, and carried them to safety. Captain Stanley Lord and the Californian sat motionless beside the nearby ice floe.
