Haddock and Titanic edit
Haddock was in charge of Titanic only while the ship was at Belfast. He signed on as her nominal commander at Southampton on 25 March 1912 and then went to Belfast to take charge of the crew that was being assembled there for the delivery trip to Southampton. He was relieved by E. J. Smith on 31 March, when he arrived at Belfast; Haddock then returned to Southampton to command Olympic and it was Smith (not Haddock) who was on Titanic for both the sea trials and the delivery trip.
