William Bullock (1813-1867)

William Bullock invented the rotary printing press to allow for easier and more efficient paper printing. While maintaining one of his machines, his foot was caught in one of the rotary wheels and was crushed. He died from a gangrenous infection whilst it was being amputated.
I thought so too. At least the answer to the ship in question, is in the description.
He was the naval architect in charge of the plans for the ocean liner Titanic and perished along with more than 1,500 people when the ship sank on her maiden voyage.
