The sea has always had an attraction for Edward Smith.
He wasn't happy with his work at the factory either. He didn't feel satisfied or delighted about it. He'd always had a strong desire to see the world. Edward Smith's desire to serve as a navy captain and explore the world was something he had desired since he was a little boy.
At the age of 17, he moved to Liverpool, one of the most well-liked port towns in the late 19th and early 20th century, together with his half-brother Joseph Hancock. The skipper of a sailing vessel was Joseph Hancock. Edward Smith began his journey toward a profession in sailing in 1867 under Joseph's direction by beginning as an apprentice aboard Senator Weber, a ship constructed in Boston and owned by the Liverpool-based A. Gibson & Co. The oceanic life he had imagined was finally coming to reality. He put a lot of effort into honing the required talents and gaining the required expertise. Ships and sailing were two things that Edward Smith loved, and he picked things up quickly. He was rapidly recognized for his accomplishments.
His professional career quickly advanced. His credentials as a second mate were gained in 1871. He received a first mate promotion in 1873. Later on, he attained mastery after two years. He was in charge of the Lizzie Fennel ship, which carried cargo to and from South America, in 1876.
