April 9, 1912 Since I started sailing with the WhiteStar Linein 1880 this is my most important ride yet. By being the captain of theTitanic, I have a whole new pay of £1250 a year with a £200bonus with no collision. I remember the first ship I commanded back in 1887. Since then I havegrown a reputation for myself among the Star fleet in 1904,I am usually on thenewly madeship's maiden voyage. I bet my wifeEleanor Smith and my daughter Helen M elvillewill miss me while I am out. And they have to go through not seeing me almost every day. I just have to go voidage on this ship and then be rejoiced with my family again after, and tell them what a success it was. Edward John Smith
