Infos

Coward. Brute. Yellow-livered. For over 100 years, J. Bruce Ismay has been the scapegoat of the Titanic disaster. He is the villain of every film and TV drama: a fit and able-bodied man who sacrificed the lives of women and children in order to survive. Some even claim that it was his fault the Titanic sank, that he encouraged the captain to sail faster. But is this the true story? In Understanding J. Bruce Ismay, Clifford Ismay opens up the family archives to uncover the story of a quiet man savaged by over a century of tabloid press. This is a must-read for any enthusiast who wishes to form their own opinion of the Titanic's most infamous survivor.

Clifford Ismay is currently engaged as director of Maryport Maritime Museum. Until the death of its founder he was privileged to have been Governor and Northern England representative for the Titanic Heritage Trust, and is a member of the British Titanic Society. He has appeared in many Titanic documentaries and been interviewed for television and radio news, and given a number of talks on the subject. He lives in Cumbria.
