Down with the ship

One always hears the story of the captain going down valiantly with his ship. It seems as if there is no honor greater to a sailor, to a captain than to do that. That their own life is last in line after the passengers and crew. So when I hear of the opposite happening. The captain abandoning ship first it seems like the lowest thing anyone could ever do.
