Overview

In April 1912, the unthinkable happened - the supposedly unsinkable Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg. Or so it was thought. For more than 80 years, the drama of the last hours of the Titanic has long fascinated the public. The discovery of the wreck by Dr. Robert Ballard and his team became one of the greatest media events of the late 1980s. However, as time passed, so evidence has appeared to cast doubt on the accepted wisdom of the great liner's fate. In the best-selling ""The Riddle of the Titanic"", Robin Gardiner and co-author Dan Van der Vat shocked the world with their claims that it was not in fact the Titanic but the sister ship Olympic, which ended its days amidst the icy waters of the North Atlantic on that fateful night. Here, in another paperback reprint of ""Titanic: The Ship that Never Sank?"" the follow-up volume, Robin Gardiner reveals what really happened on that terrible night, and gives fresh evidence which sheds new light on the true circumstances.

Author Information

Robin Gardiner has lived all his life in Oxford City. After leaving school he trained in light engineering but at 17 became a ""telegram boy"", taking his motor cycle test on a Post Office BSA Bantam. He rode motor bikes for many years and still has an affection for British classics, resurrecting one or two over the years. He later went into plastering, being trained by a friend's father. He became interested maritime history, in particular ""Titanic"", as a young man and over the years became increasingly unhappy with the ""story as it is told"". Hence his research became more detailed and eventually led to his series of books on the subject. He lives with his family and the dog in a small house with a fully equipped engineering workshop at the bottom of the garden. His other pastimes include flying model aircraft and going to the pub.
