Captain Herbert Haddock was captain of the SS Olympic, 
sistership to the SS Titanic, and receiving her 
S.O.S.-calls on that fatal night in 1912. Haddock was also 
the first to telegraph the news of the disastrofe to the 
White Star Line.

The other Captain Haddock's first name is Archibald.

(Actually, there's a whole family of captains and admirals 
Haddock in the South-English town of Leigh-on-Sea. I don't 
know if this Herbert Haddock belongs to that family.)
