Minor correction: Rostron got his knighthood not for the Titanic rescue, but for commanding troopships during WWI. He also got a Congressional Gold Medal in 1913 and became Commodore of the Cunard Line in the 1920’s. He also shares the same birthplace as Stanley Lord, skipper of the infamous Leyland Line steamer Californian: Bolton, UK.

Design speed is just a suggestion.
Burn the coal and heat the boilers pass the save limits and send it.

I think that’s the nautical version of “I didn’t hear no bell.”
