Description
(Original Caption) Washington, D.C.: J. Bruce Ismay, (facing camera, with mustache), one of the Titanic survivors, testifies at the U.S. Senate inquiry into the disaster. Ismay had ordered the Titanic's speed ranges during the various stages of the ill-fated voyage, and knew about the iceberg warnings yet made no suggestion to Captain Smith for slowing the vessel down. Ismay also boarded a lifeboat as women and children were left aboard the sinking ship, but no specific charges were ever filed against him.
