Although none of the engineers survived the Titanic, it was because they remained at their posts until the end to save the ship from sinking. These men died with honor, remaining at their posts to the end to keep the ship from sinking. To argue that the engineers were brave and honorable men, the websites The Titanic Engineers' Heroic Sacrifice - 30 James Street.com and Letters: The Heroic Role of the Titanic Engineers | UK News | The .com can tell in more detail how brave and heroes the engineers were. The most important thing the engineers did when the iceberg made contact was to maintain the power supply. Engineers maintained the power supply to keep the ship's lights on. With the lights on, panic about danger among passengers was reduced. Keeping the power on was not only to keep the lights on, but also to allow the radio office to continue operating. With this, the radio office would transmit distress signals until a few minutes before the ship sank under the ocean. The actions of the brave engineers allowed other nearby ships to hear the emergency distress signal and save many people.
