Description
Everybody has a theory about the Titanic. But what actually happened? Here, in one fascinating volume, are detailed answers to the questions that have been asked time and again about that fateful night. Is it true there weren't enough lifeboats on board? Did the lookouts really miss spotting the iceberg because they weren't given binoculars? Did owner Ismay order the ship to go faster than normal because he was trying to break the transatlantic speed record? Should we believe the band went down playing Nearer, My God, To Thee? Here, in one fascinating volume, are the detailed answers to the questions that have been asked time and again about that fateful night.
