Captain Smith on the Olympic, New York (1911)

Captain EJ Smith, in summer uniform, on the starboard wing bridge of the R.M.S. Olympic in 1911. The name on the bulkhead has been later inked out frame by frame to suggest it was filmed on Titanic. Smith is noticeably uncomfortable about being filmed and wanders around nervously, smiling at the camera at the end.

Also a medium close up of Captain Smith with the bridge and wheel house behind him and to his left is a pedestal for a pelorus, a dial with a sighting device on top enables one to sight an object and determine what angle it is to the bow of the ship.

Honourable man. Not many would willing to go down with his ship nowadays.. I'm talking to you captains of Concordia and Sewol

[LegoPostPresidency]

Rest in peace sir, you are a rue example for all sea captains everywhere

[JustGrammy]

WOW! What an honor to see him in such a way.

Its incredible to see a 110+ years old video of a man who was actually the real captain of the huge Titanic that is sunk in the depths of Atlantic ocean ! All this certainly seems a legend.

He's got that three days before retirement look about him.

0:14, he must have done exactly that on the Titanic to inspect the damage after the collision.

That Summer uniform looks very clean and fresh. I'm guessing that's what he's wearing in the afterlife (because it's Summer) with his two beloved ships, Olympic and Titanic.

This video is always used to show him ‘aboard the titanic making a final inspection’ which is false. The scratching on the film by the door where the captain stands for a few moments reveals for a split second the word Olympic indicating it is that ship he is on and not the Titanic.

Reminds me of me when parents made me look for hidden easter egg even though I was a little too old for that nonsense anymore but I played along to not make them feel bad.

Olympic lost two important people:

Her former captain and her younger sister.

Dr. Ho's Neck Pain Pro could have certainly helped Capt. "Eddy Baby" Smith relax under the stressful conditions.
