• What really happened on that freezing moonless night?
• Did the band play on as the ship was sinking?
• Were the third-class passengers locked below decks, unable to escape?
• If the Titanic was unsinkable, why did she never complete her maiden voyage?
• Did Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon bribe his way to safety?

Published in 2012, to mark the centenary of the sinking, this myth-busting
Rough Guide follows the Titanic from her birth in Belfast to her tragic end.
Besides detailing the ordeal of her passengers and crew, it covers the rediscovery of
the wreck, and the Titanic’s afterlife in film, music and books.
I also write a Titanic blog, Blogtanic.
