Captain Charles Alfred Bartlett, the commodore of the HMHS Britannic. Bartlett was the man who saw Britannic's born, life and she's sad disaster. Bartlett's nickname was 'Iceberg Charlie', because when he saw an iceberg or icefield he slow down his ship, or stopped. But in the captain of the Britannic he never saw any iceberg or icefield. He survived Britannic's disaster.

Captain Edward John Smith. Commodore of the White Star Line. He was the first captain of the Olympic and sadly, he was the captain of the ill-fated Titanic on Her Maiden Voyage. Smith's nickname was 'The millionaire's captain'. He was the best, and he was always the captain on the latest and finest White Star superliners from the new century. Many rich passengers travelled with him, because he was reliable, and very popular. An experienced man, who served the company more than 25 years, in 1912. After the Titanic's Maiden Voyage Smith planned to resigning. His last words was no clear present day: "Be British!" or "Every men himself!".

On 20th September 1911, Titanic's sister ship, the Olympic collided with the navy cruiser HMS Hawke. The two ships damaged seriously, but it was the Olympic's fault. Olympic suffered major damage on her starboard stern. In this accident nobody died or injuried. The Olympic's captain was at time Edward John Smith, who later promoted by Titanic's captain. This was Smith' first major incident at sea with her ship.
