Captain John Smith

April 9, 1912

• It is 3 days before the Titanic is to
  begin its journey. When I look at my life before
  being assigned to the Titanic, I remember playing
  with my daughter Helen, and watching my wife
  Eleanor cook her best meals. Thinking about my
  recent voyages, I have never gotten into an
  accident that is worth talking about. Everyone
  has or has had a strange feeling about the
  Titanic, but, while with me they know nothing bad
  can happen.

• As I am sitting looking out of my
  bedroom window, and reflecting on my life, I have
  fond memories of my childhood, growing up near
  the coast. As I was little, I loved seeing the
  ships go in and out of the harbor. My parents
  once gave me a ship in a bottle, and it was of
  the largest ship in the world. But, now being
  able to look up at the Titanic, I truly see, that
  she is the largest ship in the world. What an
  astounding sight she is.

• I am to set sail on the largest ship in
  the world to America tomorrow morning. A huge
  burden is laying on my shoulders, and it is
  getting heavier by the hour. This is my last
  voyage across the Atlantic. I have decided to
  retire, so that I may be with Eleanor and Helen,
  much more than I have been during the last few
  years. But, to my dismay, I must leave my home,
  once again, I have to be at the Southampton docks
  by 7oo a.m. .
