RE: CONTEST: STORIES IN BLACK AND WHITE : THOSE STORMY FIVE DAYS

in RECREATIVE STEEM • 2 years ago

All i could think of was: it's good to be put at work during circumstances like these. Focused on the job is way better than being scared in a corner and hoping the captain is right. It can't be easy to be the one always present to give peptalks and staying with the ship till everyone has left.
No leader, king, president would do that.

    I agree! But all the stories I read about the captains of the ships say, "I will sink with the ship."

    "The captain goes down with the ship" is a maritime tradition that a sea captain holds the ultimate responsibility for both the ship and everyone embarked on it, and in an emergency they will devote their time to save those on board or die trying. Although often connected to the sinking of RMS Titanic in 1912 and its captain, Edward Smith, the tradition precedes Titanic by several years.[1] In most instances, captains forgo their own rapid departure of a ship in distress, and concentrate instead on saving other people. It often results in either the death or belated rescue of the captain as the last person on board.

      It sounds as if they are more concerned than the leaders or attached to the ship? I wonder about pilots. Will they be the last ones leaving?

      For sure most ships survived. It's good to read a positive end.

        Pilots also are the last bailing out of the plane in trouble barring fighter planes where there are no passengers.
