Overview

It has always been believed that the Titanic was destroyed by a collision with an ice-berg. However, Captain Collins comes to investigate the sinking from the perspective of a professional mariner with a lifetime’s experience in sailing the waters of the North Atlantic. He looks again at the evidence that was given to the court of enquiry in 1912, and has discovered how that evidence was misinterpreted. In place of the myth that has been perpetuated around the sinking of the Titanic, Captain Collins presents the truth of what actually happened on the night of April 15th, 1912.

On 15th April, 1912, the world reeled to shock headlines announcing that the unsinkable Titanic, pride of the White Star Line, had foundered in the waters of the North Atlantic - it was her maiden voyage. The total number of people on board was 2208. This is fact. There were only twenty lifeboats available, with a combined capacity of 1178. This is fact. The disaster was caused when the ship hit an iceberg. This, apparently, might not be fact. That is the intriguing hypothesis of Captain L. M. Collins. A master mariner with over forty years experience sailing in the ice infested waters around Newfoundland, Captain Collins has long doubted the iceberg theory. Assessing the detailed evidence given at both the US and British enquiries he has come to some novel and startling conclusions about the fate of the Titanic. This thought-provoking book is sure to stimulate renewed debate into the tragedy. (Kirkus UK)
