The Official Transcripts of the 1912 Senate Investigation
The Titanic steams onward in the popular imagination, especially due to Paramount's blockbuster film, yet the most essential story has long remained unheard - until now. The unheeded iceberg warnings, the underloading of lifeboats, the failure to rescue those screaming for their lives in the freezing North Atlantic water, the aftermath on the careers and lives of those who survived - all of this and more was brought to the surface during the 1912 Senate investigation immediately following the disaster. For the first time, the transcripts to this most shocking and revealing investigation are published, along with photographs from both the hearing and the doomed maiden voyage of the ill-fated ship.
