100 years after the most infamous shipwreck in history, imagine:
What If Titanic Didn't Sink? Perhaps no disaster in history has
endured the scrutiny reserved for the sinking of the RMS Titanic on
her maiden voyage on April 15, 1912. Yet nearly a century after the
disaster, there is perhaps one question that remains unanswered
about the legendary British steamship: What if Titanic didn't sink
and the rich and poor she carried had survived that terrible night?
Titanic was a marvel of luxury and innovation. But it was the names
on her passenger list that said it all. The British Liner's first
trek across the Atlantic was not just an adventure for the well to
do. It was a happening. The voyage was a gathering of pre-war power
and influence where deals were done, markets were made and futures
were set. Titanic was the world's greatest symbol of wealth and
success for the very fewest. For those who could afford the
enormous price of a first class stateroom, it was the place to be.
But after colliding with an iceberg while recklessly racing across
the North Atlantic, eminent Captain Edward J. Smith learns that his
ship is doomed -- unless he makes decisions that can save Titanic
and her remarkable cargo against all odds. Twenty years later,
Titanic has enjoyed a successful career and the privileged who
sailed on her maiden voyage have become the world's wealthiest
financiers and industrialists.. All have one thing in common: the
power to influence history. A new President, himself a Titanic
survivor, is slowly leading the United States out of economic
depression but international hostilities are building again and
another World War is inevitable. He reaches out to his fellow
Titanic survivors. Together, can they rewrite the course of
history? Or have they once again unwittingly boarded Titanic for
her final voyage?
