Explain Why He Is To Blame For The Titanic

On April 15, 1912, the biggest and most unsinkable ship sank. The Titanic left England, heading to New York City on April 10, 1912 on its maiden voyage. The ship had over 2,227 passengers aboard. Days later, this beautiful masterpiece sank to the bottom of the ocean. Nearly 1,500 people died that day on the Titanic, after crashing into an iceberg. But was it really the iceberg’s fault for the lives lost? There were many people accused for losing the lives, however, only one makes sense. Stanley Lord, the captain of the Titanic, is to blame for all the lives lost that day. Stanley went to sleep after seeing the signals, he didn’t respond to any of them, and he didn’t believe the signals.

One reason he is guilty is because he went to sleep even after he saw the signals he went to sleep. From encyclopedia-titanic.org, "He turned off the wireless radio, and went to sleep. It was 10.21 pm." “The Titanic and the Californian” says, “ Throughout the night, no one on board the Californian attempted to wake their wireless operator, and ask him to contact the ship to ask why they were firing rockets and trying to signal them, until 5:30 a.m. “ Something was going wrong, but he decided to go to sleep and not help.
San Francisco Chronicle says, "The Californian was near the Titanic than nineteen miles reported by her captain, and her officers and the crew, 'saw the distress signals of the Titanic and failed to respond..." It also says, “The mysterious lights on an unknown ship, seen by the passengers on the Titanic, undoubtedly were on the Californian, less the 19 miles away.” There was no way that Lord could have not seen the signals, he just simply ignored
