19.99 €
The wreck of the British transatlantic liner "Titanic" on the night of April 14-15, 1912 became one of the largest and most significant maritime disasters and one of the most documented and described events of universal history. At the same time, distorted, simplified views, one-sided interpretations, outdated, incomplete data and all sorts of myths and speculations related to both the ship and the causes and circumstances of its tragic destruction are still widely circulated in popular literature and the Internet. In his third book about the "Titanic" the author uses the material of the latest publications and studies, mainly English-language, to analyze and refute some of the most common, persistent and odious myths and misconceptions of modern "titanicology".
The author also analyzes the ship's speed mode when passing through the ice zone, reveals the peculiarities of the organization of visual observation by watch-keepers, new details of collision with an iceberg (its possible contact with the surface board) and the course of diving with alternate roll to starboard and port. The book is based on the author's own research, published in the journals of American and European historical societies of the Titanic and translated (with additions and updates) into Russian for the first time.
The book is addressed to researchers and all those interested in the history of shipping.
