Boating Classes
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 ... of 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." Edward J. Smith, 1907 Captain, RMS Titanic
