Captain Smith

 Edward John Smiths final evening as captain of the worlds largest sea vessel was an undeniably sensational one. As the Titanic sank in those early hours on April 15, 1912, Captain Smith was lost and his final actions remain unknown. One eye witness, Junior Marconi Officer Harold Bride, claims he saw Smith dive into sea from the ships open bridge, moments before the final sinking. Another story has Smith rescuing a child once in the water, then swimming into the darkness alone. Either way, the story takes Captain Smith into the waters he traversed for over 40 years--a place I like to believe he felt comfortable. Its easy to imagine the luxurious ocean liner gliding under the currents to the soft ocean floor, and being taken up by a new crew--this time with tentacles. The rare Grimpoteuthis, also known as the Dumbo Octopus, is one such visitor to the ships wreckage. I suspect the rest of Titanics community is equally refined: elegant jellyfish, swarthy squid, some unusual, opulent sea fauna. It is in this dreamy, unhurried company Captain Smith eternally rests.
