Retirement speech (or challange to fate)
"When anyone asks me how I can best describe my experience in nearly forty years at sea, I merely say, uneventful. Of course there have been winter gales, and storms and fog and the like. But in all my experience, I have never been in any accident ... or any sort worth speaking about. I have seen but one vessel in distress in all my years at sea. I never saw a wreck and never have been wrecked nor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to end in disaster of any sort."
Quote by Captain Edward J. Smith in 1907
Who is he? he was the captain of the titanic.
Bored so looking over titanic info it cost only $7.500,000 to make then and would cost over $400,000,000 to make today now thats what you call inflation lol. Also someone was nice enough to claim on there insurance 8 crates of tennis balls after the ship sank....nice.
