The Fall of J. Bruce Ismay?

Welcome back to Unsinkable: The Titanic Podcast! Episode two is an in-depth examination of the life of J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star Line (and, essentially, the owner of Titanic). History has not been kind to him, this man accused of abandoning his own ship and all those aboard her as she plunged into the sea. Here I outline his entire life, his own tragedies before and after the disaster, and attempt to answer the nagging question: did he deserve his reputation as Titanic's notorious scapegoat?For sources, please check the blog on my website: unsinkablepod.comIf you enjoy this episode, I highly recommend:Frances Wilson's How to Survive the Titanic, or, The Sinking of J.
