TITANIC WEEK, DAY 5
Jun. 11th, 2021 07:27 amWe have come to the end of the Titanic week! My final question for Doug regards further reading.
You have a great reading list at the back of your book. Is there one book that you keep coming back to over and over again, and if so, which one and why?

Doug's reply:
I read all of those books listed at one time or another, some of them twice, in addition to several other books related to Titanic and ocean liner travel. I think one which I could read over and over again like the bible is David Brown’s book because it is so different from the rest, very contentious within the Titanic community, but yet it makes you think a lot about what if he’s right and we're all wrong about what we understand about that night?
Also, the book written by twelve different historians called Report into the Loss of the SS Titanic: A Centennial Reappraisal is great as it offers different views of Titanic from different expert opinions and I love the detail and academic nature of the book.

Offering a radically new interpretation of the facts surrounding the most famous shipwreck in history, The Last Log of the Titanic is certain to ignite a storm of controversy.

from the book description
Following the basic layout of the report, this team provides fascinating insights into the ship herself, the American and British inquiries, the passengers and crew, the fateful journey and ice warnings received, the damage and sinking, protocol and process of rescue, the circumstances in connection with the SS Californian and SS Mount Temple, and the aftermath and ramifications around the world.
