  • The sinking of RMS Tayleur : The lost story of the 'Victorian Titanic'

    Authors

    Gill Hoffs

    Publisher

    Pen & Sword

    Abstract

    The wrecking of the RMS Tayleur made headlines almost 60 years before the Titanic. Both were run by the White Star Line, both were heralded as the most splendid ships of their time - and both sank in tragic circumstances on their maiden voyage.

  • Comparative naval architecture of passenger ships

    Authors

    Date published

    2003

    Abstract

    This paper uses a Comparative Naval Architecture approach to discuss in four sections the unusual features of the Titanic the post-Titanic ships of the 1920s and 30s modern passenger ships and risk of unanticipated levels of damage to future ships. This paper starts by comparing the Titanic to ships before and after her. The ship features that seem frivolous (a huge fake fourth stack) or bad engineering practice (shallow watertight bulkheading forward) are explained. The operational background for owner/operators to make decisions like providing an inadequate number of lifeboat seats and proceeding full speed through a scattered ice field are described. The post-SOLAS 1929 ships are compared to Titanic and modern ships. In the larger framework the paper describes the continuing evolution of passenger ships the sources of danger to them and if there still is the possibility of "iceberg-like" surprises for modern ships.

  • Titanic: Destination Disaster

    Abstract

    No other ship or maritime tragedy holds more fascination than the Titanic - and a century after she sank beneath the chill, starlit North Atlantic waters on her maiden voyage, carrying a wide mix of passengers, from the social, artistic and financial elite of two continents to the humblest emigrants on their way to America, the story continues to enthral people of all ages and cultures.Two of the world's foremost authorities present this popular account of the sea s best-known disaster, expertly summarisizing the ship's brief but glamorous life, from building and launching in Belfast, to the discovery of her remains more than two miles down on the ocean bed, and the subsequent artefact recovery dives and courtroom efforts to protect the wreck. Their own photographic dives to the wreck site feature in this updated third edition of their best-selling paperback, together with a wealth of fascinating new information about the ship and her people, past and present.

  • Unsinkable: The Full Story of the RMS Titanic

    Authors

    Daniel Allen Butler

    Publisher

    Frontline; 1998

    Abstract

    The first modern work to give a comprehensive picture of the RMS Titanic and the people intertwined with her fate, from disaster to recovery. Drawn from primary sources and contemporary accounts and updated to coincide with the April 2012 anniversary, this new heart-rending narrative allows readers to come to their own conclusions about this legendary vessel.Daniel Allen Butler spend more than 30 years researching the work, delving into the lives of every principal participant. In addition to examining the roles played by individual, he also looks into the problems of equipment and errors in technical data that resulted in the deaths of 1502 people. Rather than focussing on the night of the tragedy alone, he also investigates the events leading up to and following the fateful night.

  • Who Sailed on the Titanic? The Definitive Passenger Lists

    Authors

    30d

    Abstract

    The search for the definitive passenger list of Titanic has consumed researchers for 90 years. Lists marketed under various names invariably prove to be compilations drawn from several sources, often perpetuating earlier inaccuracies and with no citations whatsoever. These documents are now scattered throughout archives in the UK, the USA and Canada, with most now being withdrawn from public access for safekeeping.Drawing upon her extensive research, Debbie Beavis is able to demonstrate the reliability or otherwise of these documents whose accuracy has never previously been fully examined.The information gleaned by comparing the US and British passenger records is astounding. In this book she demonstrates that any two entries for the same person were often far from identical and that any attempt to arrive at a complete list of passengers was futile. For many passengers not only was there contradictory evidence of their personal details and fate that night, but similar confusion as to whether they even sailed at all.
