The Sinking of the Titanic

Titanic was on fire before it hit 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 work is true. Today, Marshall's work, published within weeks of the ship's demise, will help to dispel many of the myths which have surrounded the sinking of the Titanic. MYTH ● The Titanic was safest when it left port. REALITY ● The ship was on fire from the very moment 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 left the women and children enter the few lifeboats. REALITY ● Men were shot on deck as they attempted to boards the lifeboats and save their lives.
