Synopsis:

The watchwords were "bigger, better, faster, more luxurious" as builders of ocean-going vessels strove to outdo each other as they raced to capitalize on a new golden age of travel. The story of the sinking of the Titanic, as told by the official enquiry, reveals some remarkable facts which have been lost in popular re-tellings of the story. A ship of the same line, only a few miles away from the Titanic as she sank, should have been able to rescue passengers, so why did this not happen? Readers of this report will discover that many such questions remain unanswered and that the full story of a tragedy which has entered into popular mythology has by no means been told.
