This is almost certainly not correct; look at https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/c ... 852/page-3Carpathia wrote:I know Captain Smith was going to retire following the completion of Titanic's maiden voyage.
Commanders were not changed mid-trip except in case of death, illness or injury.Had Titanic docked in New York without incident, would Captain Smith have served as Captain on the return voyage or would he have just deadheaded back as a passenger?
