The sinking of the British transatlantic liner Titanic on the night of April 14-15, 1912 was one of the largest and most iconic maritime disasters and one of the most documented and described events in world history. At the same time, distorted, simplified views, one-sided interpretations, outdated, incomplete data and all kinds of myths and speculations related to both the ship itself and the causes and circumstances of its tragic death are still widely used in popular literature and the Internet. In his third book about the Titanic, the author analyzes and refutes some of the most common, persistent and odious myths and misconceptions of modern "Titanicology" based on the latest publications and studies, mainly in English.
It also analyzes the speed of the vessel when passing the ice zone, reveals the features of the organization of visual observation by watch lookouts, new details of the collision with the iceberg (its possible contact with the freeboard) and the course of diving with an alternate roll to starboard and port. The basis of the book is the author's own research, published in the journals of the American and European historical societies "Titanic" and for the first time translated (with additions and updates) into Russian.
The book is addressed to researchers and anyone interested in the history of shipping.
