Restoring Titanic’s place in history as a crowning glory in maritime development.
In this unparalleled investigation that deconstructs the modern hindsight that has tainted Titanic’s
legacy, Allen Gibson presents a comprehensive history with a refreshing argument, that Titanic
represented a considerable achievement in maritime architecture. Telling the story of the
‘unsinkable’ ship against a backdrop of a tumultuous and rapidly emerging technological world, he
exposes the people and the circumstances that contributed to the disaster, and the blame that
went on in its aftermath. This expanded edition further unravels the mindset that willfully
dispatched the world’s largest ship out to sea with a famously deficient supply of lifeboats, and
lays bare the technology so dramatically destroyed.
