Quotes 

• Captain Edward J. Smith : You have broken one of the cardinal rules of safety: never turn your broadside to danger. Had we struck the berg head on, only one compartment would have been flooded!

  First Officer William Murdoch : I thought I could avoid the berg altogether, sir.

  Captain Edward J. Smith : And not only did you stop your engines, your reversed them! She would have turned more quickly the greater the forward motion!
