Titanic: The Ship That Never Sank? Book

In 1912 the unthinkable happened - the supposedly unsinkable Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg. Or so it was thought. For more than 80 years, the drama of the last hours of the Titanic has fascinated people. The discovery of the wreck by Dr Robert Ballard and his team became one of the great media events of the 1980s. However, as time has passed, so evidence has appeared which casts doubt on the accepted wisdom of the great liner's fate. In the best selling The Riddle of the Titanic, Robin Gardiner and his co-author Dan van der Vat shocked the world with their claims that it was not, in fact, the Titanic but the sister ship, the Olympic, which finished its days amidst the icy waters of the North Atlantic on that fateful night. Now in his controversial follow-up - Titanic: The Ship that Never Sank - Robin Gardiner goes further into the scandal of the sinking, not only with more evidence on the alleged 'scam' perpetrated by the While Star line but also with further evidence showing the possible collusion of the British government in the cover-up. Robin Gardiner's remarkable new account of what really happened on that terrible night reveals fresh evidence which sheds new light on the circumstances. This material includes: o a letter drawn from a survivor's memories that alleges a government cover-up at the highest level; o the evidence of Helmsman Hitchens regarding distress rockets that suggests the presence of mystery ships; o the presence of an extra lifeboat indicating that another ship was present; o timing evidence from the last wireless message that suggests that one of the wireless operators was lying; o evidence of the bow plates from the two ships which suggests the switch at Belfast; o photographic evidence that shows the discrepancies between the two ships as built and later described; o medical and forensic evidence that suggests that the stories from certain survivors cannot be wholly truthful.Read More
