E-Books →Why the Titanic was Doomed

Author Bryan Jackson presents a new and unique look at the many circumstances that came together the night of April 14, 1912 to claim over 1,500 lives and leave Titanic lying in 12,000 feet of water on the bottom of the North Atlantic.
Each chapter details how seemingly disconnected pieces served to create a tragedy that remains as significant today as it was over a century ago. They include flawed design decisions, outdated regulations, substandard materials, weather conditions, lookouts left blinded and warnings never acted upon. Perhaps the most fascinating piece is a look at how events involving sister ship Olympic would result in Titanic being placed directly on course to meet the iceberg which would sink her.
In addition, Jackson offers a look at the circumstances that saved some from perishing in the tragedy. They range from the rich and famous - to family members traveling in third-class who managed to escape the sinking while the majority of the passengers sailing in those accommodations would not survive.
Also provided is a comprehensive Titanic timeline which details the events which lead to her construction - and eventual destruction.
