Be prepared to meet an iceberg

“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.

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.” E. J. Smith, 1907, Captain, RMS Titanic
