Why is so much heroism attached to the sinking of Titanic? Why do we accord impossible glory to the miserable, misbegotten drowning of the equivalent of a small town? What process led to the creation of champions? Who were the real heroes and how were they overlooked? What did society––and the press––do with an overriding need for blame? By identifying the fable-making this book enables a fresh, sharp focus on history’s most famous shipwreck. We see into the nature of prejudice, public values, political and national motives. It explores what we think we know about the engineers, musicians, Captain Smith, his officers, the owners and officialdom. It also looks at sacrificial victims, in particular the character of Captain Stanley Lord of the S.S. Californian, a man tarred with abandoning fifteen hundred people to their fate. Backed up with a new photographic archive and bolstered by a series of contemporary extracts to support its arguments, this is Titanic history presented in a new and authentic light. Softcover. 224 pages. New and archival black and white photos. © 2001-2009 The Titanic Historical Society, Inc.
