Description
The dark Sunday night from April 14 to 15, 1912, a hundred years ago, became tragic for the most luxurious ocean liner of all time built by the White Star Line. RMS Titanic sank less than three hours after colliding with an iceberg on its maiden voyage, and along with it, two-thirds of all the people on board perished. ***** The book addresses not only the tragedy itself but also in detail the causes that most likely led to it. At the same time, in light of newly discovered facts, it debunks some deeply rooted myths that are constantly repeated in connection with the sinking of the Titanic. ***** Whether it concerns the fate of designer Andrews, the behavior of the subsequently glorified Captain Smith throughout the night, or the unfortunate orders of First Officer Murdoch. It also attempts to map and explain what followed the collision. It delves very deeply into the possibilities of rescuing passengers and crew. Surprisingly, a more detailed analysis of the facts also sheds light on the famous command 'women and children first.'
