SS CALIFORNIAN COULD HAVE AVERTED THE DEATH OF MANY MORE FROM
TITANIC AS IT MISSED OBVIOUS MESSAGES.
Once Evans’ message had reached the crewmen of Titanic, the warning was
allegedly dismissed by an angry and tired Jack Phillips, who had tapped out: “Shut
up! Shut up! I am busy. I am working Cape Race.”
The SS Californian, however, will be forever remembered and judged by history after
it failed to promptly respond to the Titanic‘s distress signals, despite being only 20
miles away.
During that period, the SS Californian was under the command of Captain Stanley
Lord. He took command a year earlier, and he found himself and his crew in the
North Atlantic after leaving London on April 5, 1912, embarking on a journey to
Boston. Records suggest that Stanley Lord’s ship happened to be close to empty,
not having any passengers on board.
On the evening of April 14, 1912, the crew of SS Californian noted a number of large
icebergs and, following the captain’s orders, halted for the night at around 10:20 PM.
The captain preferred to remain in that spot for the night and then resume the route
in the early morning.

initiatives. Those initiatives feed and are in turn driven by each
other, and build a long-term business. Amazon Prime is an
example of this business strategy.

In the early 20th century, the country of France was emerging from the devastating
effects of the Dreyfus Affair. The country had been deeply divided over the fate of
French Artillery Captain Alfred Dreyfus, who had been accused of selling military
secrets to the Germans.
The most popular sports newspaper in France at this time was Le Vélo, with over
eighty thousand subscribers. Due to the differences of opinion over the guilt or
innocence of Captain Dreyfus, a few journalists and businessmen, including Comte
Jules-Albert de Dion and Édouard Michelin, courted disgruntled advertisers and
started their own newspaper, L’Auto, in 1899.
They hired former award-winning cyclist and sports journalist Henri Desgrange as
editor. They started something that is a phenomenon still. Due to popularity of the
phenomenon, by 1923, issues of L’Auto had increased to 500,000 copies a
day. In 1904 Le Vélo ceased its activities and L'Auto eventually transmogrified into
L'Équipe in 1944.

If he had possessed a sense of responsibility and balance,
