The Managing Director of the Red Star Line was Mr. Bruce Ismay. They both were on the ship on its maiden voyage. The captain of the Titanic was Captain E.J. Smith.

All the life could hold up 30-66 people but most of the boats had about 10 to 22. The crewmen were outside with the officers following the Captain's orders. The crewmen were trying to detach the lifeboats from the ship. The Officers were holding the passengers back away from the lifeboats. The Officer also carried guns to prevent panic and chaos on the ship. Most of the passengers on the ship didn't have any idea on what was going on. Most of the first class passengers went up but the passengers didn't put their life jackets on. The first class passengers didn't want to put on those life jackets. The first class passengers said that their "Life Jackets don't match their Clothes" (A Night, 1956). The Stewards directed the passengers to go outside and wait to get on the boat. Most of the passengers ignored the Stewards and went back to their cabins.
