The Captain.
The Officers.
The Survivors.
Had I been a passenger on the Titanic, could I forgive any of these people? A large portion of these people acted out of arrogance. Nothing could possibly sink such an outstanding creation, built by man. Careless, these people were unprepared and in the end, they suffered for their superior attitudes. They could be forgiven according to their further actions. Fear makes people stupid. To an extent, the actions of these people should be ignored. Everyone aboard is going to act irrationally, forgive-ably...to an extent. Those that allowed their panic to overtake them and to do whatever it takes to make it out alive, could not call for forgiveness.
I like that you didn't clump every single officer together and convict them for an overall deed. Not everyone was trying to save their own life. There were most likely officers and crew members trying to help and died for it. For some reason, we tend to overlook that and blame everyone for what the worse crime was.
