The Sinking of the Titanic: The Mystery Solved
£1.32
Received knowledge has it that the Titanic was destroyed when it collided with an iceberg. However, Captain Collins, a Newfoundlander by birth and a master mariner and ice pilot by profession, has now gone back to the original records, witness statements and courts of inquiry to analyse the evidence, and has discovered that a misinterpretation of it has perpetuated an untruth for almost a century.
The truth lies hidden in the statements given by the survivors of the Titanic’s crew. Using these and his own practical experience of many years, Captain Collins presents his startling new theory of what really happened.
Illustrated by photographs of the Titanic’s sole voyage, artist’s impressions of the grandeur of the ship, historic photographs of the original crew who served on the Titanic, reproductions of original documents from the ship and nautical maps and charts which prove Captain Collins interpretation.
Description
On April 15, 1912, the world awoke to the news that the RMS Titanic had met with disaster some 300 miles off the coast of Newfoundland.
And ever since that time, the misinterpretation of the evidence that was given at the courts of inquiry has perpetuated the myth that the Titanic collided with an iceberg.
What happened on the night of April 15th 1912 to cause the SS Titanic to sink?
Review
This book comes as close to a factual interpretation of the Titanic tragedy as we are ever likely to find… Titanic books don’t come better than this. Highly recommended! — The Nautical Magazine
Captain Collins does bring to the table his considerable experience in ice navigation which, unfortunately, is a body of experience seldom heard from in Titanic circles. — Encyclopedia Titanica
An innovative version of the Titanic’s demise… Definitely a book for Titanic buffs. — Lloyd’s List
