    Yes at least to the point where they have gotten everyone else off the ship first. There was a cruise ship caption who abandoned ship without helping the passengers/crew and I believe he was charged with a crime. Not sure which crime it was specifically though.

    Thank you for your reply m2c and Happy Monday to thee. Whoa! I would never want to be Captain  of a ship if potential death is mandatory.

  • I have always assumed this is fatuous rhetoric.

    I may be a whimp, but I almost drowned as a child, and there's no way, NO WAY, I would go down with the ship. Besides, they all have life jackets now.

     So you CAN go down with the ship and survive? But if  staying with the ship is mandatory I  wouldn't want that job. Thank you for your reply bh! :)
