Titanic Myths, Titanic Truths: How A Series of Errors Caused History's Most Famous Maritime Disaster - Paperback

by David G. Brown (Author)

Finally, a book that breaks through 100 years of myths surrounding the sinking of RMS Titanic to reveal that the ship was deliberately turned toward the iceberg, the damage was not necessarily fatal, and human error in a boiler room ultimately sank the ship. These are the startling conclusions of Captain David G. Brown, a licensed master mariner. Using a school bus analogy, he explains why historians have been blinded to the true nature of the accident and its consequences.
