The Sinking of the Titanic [Kindle Edition]
Bruce M. Caplan (Author)

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006OJMDLK/..._1fpBpb0VD3B9N

The Titanic was on fire before it hit the iceberg!
Shortly after the Titanic sank on the morning of April 15, 1912, author Logan Marshall compiled a history of the tragic event. His narrative reads like a novel, yet every word is true. Bruce Caplan took the original work and edited and abridged the book to include new information and today is a much sought-after public speaker and consided a premier Titanic expert.

Myth: the ship was safest when it left port.
Reality: the ship was on fire from the time it left Southampton. Not a tiny blaze, but a roaring inferno that probably contributed to the disaster.

Myth: All the men patiently stood by and let the women and children enter the few lifeboats.
Reality: Men were shot on deck as they attempted to board the lifeboats and save their own lives.

Now in the Seventeenth printing. Copyright 1967
Library of Congress Catalog Number 98-96592
