About this title

About the Author:

Robert McDougall lives in Blackpool. He has been researching the history of transatlantic liners in general, and Titanic more particularly, over many years and during this period has amassed a comprehensive archive of images recording the great days of transatlantic shipping. Robin Gardiner lives in Oxford. Actively researching the history of Titanic, he has developed a theory expounded in two best-selling books - The Riddle of the Titanic (with Dan van der Vat) and Titanic: The Ship that never Sank? - that there was more to the sinking than a simple iceberg. He is the author of several highly successful books for Ian Allan Publishing.
