Although the answer appears obvious, there is far more to the
sinking of the Titanic than is popularly understood. On 10 April
1912 Titanic - the largest and most luxurious ocean liner in the
world - left Southampton on her maiden voyage. The only headlines
she expected to make were on her triumphant arrival in New York.
But just five days later, she was a wreck at the bottom of the
North Atlantic, taking over 1500 lives with her. Why? The answer to
this question is a set of circumstances and a chain of events that
came together to seal her fate and that of so many of her
passengers and crew. Nature of course played her part in the form
of that gigantic iceberg as well as in other less obvious ways.
Most of all though there was human error, complacency and an
inability to think the unthinkable when designing or sailing the
ship. Just one different action at any stage in the chain could
have saved the life of Titanic or at least most, if not all, of
those aboard her. The world still has much to learn from the loss
of the Titanic. This book explains why the largest ship in the
world was lost and just how the voyage of a lifetime turned into a
nightmare.
