The Rest Is History

NOTE

Perception of Ismay and British attitude post Titanic sinking

The character of Ismay is portrayed as a coward and weasel in films and TV series post-Titanic sinking, particularly in the James Cameron film. The American perception of Ismay as the author of his own misfortunes and someone who effectively caused the death of many contrasts with the British attitude, where there is a sense of pride and heroism associated with the tragedy. In Britain, there is a belief in the greatness of the Anglo-Saxon race, with the Titanic sinking reinforcing this idea of heroism and self-sacrifice, evoking a sense of pride in the British people.
