The captain goes down with the ship Spain, Greece and Italy. South Korean law may also require the captain to rescue himself last. In Finland the Maritime Law ("Merilaki") states that the captain must do everything in his power to save everyone on board the ship in distress and that unless his life is in immediate danger, he shall not leave the vessel as long as there is reasonable hope that it can be saved. In the United States, abandoning the ship is not explicitly illegal, but the captain could be charged with other crimes, such as manslaughter, which encompass common law precedent passed down through centuries.
