โฆ Synopsis
The very first narrative published after the Titanic's demise!
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

Review
I was impressed by the actions of the men from the upper-class passangers gave up their seats on the life boats for steerage women. This book surpasses any movie about the Titanic. It also adds to any documentary about the Titanic I have seen on TV. --- Sue from Green Bay WI
Caplan has expanded and revised this classic and in the process given it updated information while putting the important elements of this tragedy into proper context --- and made it interesting! --- The Chesapeake
