The Titanic was on fire before it hit the iceberg!
Shortly after the
Titanic sank on the morning of April 15, 1912, author Logan Marshall
compiled a history of the tragic event. His narrative reads like a
novel, yet every word is true. Bruce Caplan took the original work and
edited and abridged the book to include new information and today is a
much sought-after public speaker and consided a premier Titanic expert.
Myth: the ship was safest when it left port.
Reality:
the ship was on fire from the time it left Southampton. Not a tiny
blaze, but a roaring inferno that probably contributed to the disaster.
Myth: All the men patiently stood by and let the women and children enter the few lifeboats.
Reality: Men were shot on deck as they attempted to board the lifeboats and save their own lives.
