Nearly 100 years after the most famous maritime disaster in
history, we are assured that we know everything there is to know
about the White Star Liner Titanic and that there is little more to
add to the story. While the basic story is undeniable, the details
of what happened during the evacuation are still debated, plagued
by disinformation, personal politics and our simple lack of
knowledge. This book details the elements that combined to
transform one of humanity's triumphant achievements of engineering
into a devastating encapsulation of overconfidence and other human
failings.
Utilising the inquiry transcripts, and a hundred years worth of
interviews, stories and recollections, the stories of the Titanic
and her controversies can now be related in full. Were the 3rd
class passengers held below while the 1st class escaped? Why was
the iceberg not seen till it was too late? Why were 400 lifeboat
seats wasted? Was valuable time wasted while the crew assessed the
damage? And if there had been enough lifeboats, could everyone have
been saved in the 2 hours and 40 minutes it took for the ship to
sink? These and other questions are explored in this invaluable
work. A review can be found here: http:
