Titanic: The Ship That Never Sank? - Robin Gardiner

In 1912 the unthinkable happened - the supposedly unsinkable Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg, or so it was thought. In this bestselling book author Robin Gardiner claims that it was not in fact the Titanic but the sister ship, the Olympic, which finished its days sinking in the icy waters of the North Atlantic on that fateful night. His contention is that what happened was an insurance scam perpetrated by the White Star line which may have involved the possible collusion by the British government in the cover-up. On 20 September 1911, the Olympic was involved in a collision with the Royal Navy Warship HMS Hawke in Southampton Water. Olympic was found to be to blame in the collision. Because of this finding, White Star''s insurers allegedly refused to pay out on the claim. As this would amount to a serious financial loss for the company, it is alleged that, to make sure at least one vessel would be earning money, the badly damaged Olympic was patched up and then converted to become the Titanic. The real Titanic when complete would then quietly enter service as the Olympic. To dispose of the Olympic, which had allegedly been damaged beyond economic repair in a way that would allow White Star to collect the full insured value of a brand new ship, the plan was to open the seacocks at sea to slowly flood the ship. Numerous ships were stationed nearby to take off the passengers, the shortage of lifeboats would not matter as the ship would sink slowly and the boats could make several trips to the rescuers. The controversy which this theory has generated, and some of the evidence used to support it is compelling, has made this book into a bestseller in the years since it was first published. Regardless of whether you choose to believe in this version of the events that took place on that terrible night in 1912, which still resonate so strongly well over a century afterwards, Titanic: The Ship That Never Sank? is a fascinating, well written and absorbing read.

Before the launch Leovinus is having one last little look round and begins to find that things just aren’t right: poor workmanship, cybersystems out of control, robots walking into doors. How could this have happened?The following morning, while the galaxy’s media looks on, the fabulous ship eases away from the construction dock, picks up speed, sways a little, wobbles a bit, veers wildly and, just before it can do untold damage to everything around it, appears to undergo SMEF (Spontaneous Massive Existence Failure). In just ten seconds, the whole stupendous enterprise is over. And our story has just begun . . .

Titanic: The Searches and the Dives - Richard M. Jones

The story of the Titanic has been told countless times, but very few books talk in detail about the numerous expeditions that have visited the wreck; even less will talk about the personal stories associated with these underwater trips. Now, for the first time, details are given of some of the less well-known deep diving expeditions to the world’s most famous shipwreck, focusing on the people who lead them, the equipment being used and the background stories of the research vessels that have carried these teams out to the cold, dark Atlantic swells. From the failed expeditions in the early 1980s to the tragic loss of a submersible four decades later, this is the story of the searches and the dives to the wreck of a ship which has become synonymous with disaster. Using interviews with people who were there at different times, we rediscover a shipwreck that has captivated the imagination of people from around the world to the point where they are willing to risk their lives just to have a glimpse. But it is this glimpse of the Titanic that has cost so much money and affected so many lives.

Stephen Hawking : Friendship and Physics - Leonard Mlodinow

CHOSEN AS A BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE GUARDIAN, DAILY TELEGRAPH, NEW STATESMAN AND BBC SCIENCE FOCUS 'An intimate, unique, and inspiring perspective on the life and work of one of the greatest minds of our time. Filled with insight, humour, and never-before-told stories, it's a view of Stephen Hawking that few have seen and all will appreciate' James Clear, author of Atomic Habits An icon of the last fifty years, Stephen Hawking seems to encapsulate genius: not since Albert Einstein has a scientific figure held such a position in popular consciousness. In this enthralling memoir, writer and physicist Leonard Mlodinow tells the story of his friend and their collaboration, offering an intimate account of this giant of science. The two met in 2003, when Stephen asked Leonard if he would consider writing a book with him, the follow up to the bestselling A Brief History of Time. As they spent years working on a second book, The Grand Design, they forged a deep connection and Leonard gained a much better understanding of Stephen's daily life and struggles -- as well as his compassion and good humour. Together they obsessed over the perfect sentence, debated the physics, and occasionally punted on Cambridge's waterways with champagne and strawberries. In time, Leonard was able to finish Stephen's jokes, chide his sporadic mischief, and learn how the hardships of his illness helped forge that unique perspective on the universe. By weaving together their shared story with a clear-sighted portrayal of Hawking's scientific achievements, Mlodinow creates a beautiful portrait of Stephen Hawking as a brilliant, impish and generous man whose life was not only exceptional but also genuinely inspiring.

Kniha - autor Václav Králíček, 400 stran, česky, pevná s přebalem lesklá Temná nedělní noc ze 14. na 15. dubna 1912 před sto lety se stala tragickou pro nejluxusnější parník všech dob postavený společností White Star Line. RMS Titanic se během necelých tří hodin po kolizi s ledovou horou potopil na své panenské plavbě a zároveň s ním zahynuly dvě třetiny všech lidí nacházejících se na palubě. Kniha se zabývá nejen samotnou tragédií, ale podrobně i příčinami, které ji s největší pravděpodobností způsobily. Zároveň se daří ve světle nově objevených faktů vyvrátit některé hluboce zakořeněné mýty, neustále se opakující v souvislosti s potopením Titaniku. Ať už jde o osud konstruktéra Andrewse, chování následně glorifikovaného kapitána Smithe v průběhu celé noci či o nešťastné povely prvního palubního důstojníka Murdocha. Stejně tak se pokouší zmapovat a vysvětlit události následující bezprostředně po kolizi. Velmi podrobně se také zabývá možnostmi záchrany...

Noc, kdy se potopil Titanic (978-80-870-5713-1)

Elektronická kniha - autor Daniel Allen Butler, 248 stran Kniha má za námět tragickou událost, ke které došlo před 100 lety - avšak místo podrobného popisu dějů na potápějící se lodi se věnuje tomu, co se dělo na lodích, které byly nejblíže katastrofy a buď se do záchrany zapojily (CARPATHIA), nebo nezapojily (CALIFORNIAN), a proč.Právě tomu PROČ se autor nejvíce věnuje a snaží se najít odpověď na záhadu, proč bezpečnostní předpisy selhaly a proč nemohli být zachránění všichni trosečníci (což bylo reálně možné).Po úvodní kapitole, která je věnována nepříznivým povětrnostním vlivům na severním Atlantiku a jejich dopadu na ztráty lodí, následují dvě kapitoly věnované lodím CARPATHIA a CALIFORNIAN a zkušenostem a povahovým vlastnostem jejich kapitánů.Další kapitola je věnovaná bílým světlicím, které TITANIC vystřeloval jako tísňový signál a hypotézám, proč je kapitán CALIFORNIANU a jeho důstojníci pokládali světlice za něco jiného než signál v nouzi.

Kniha - autor Beau Riffenburgh, 164 stran, česky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá Titanic, nejvelkolepější parník, který kdy brázdil mořskou hladinu, předcházela pověst nepotopitelného plovoucího paláce. Když v dubnu 1912 vyrazil na první transatlantickou plavbu, nikdo netušil, že půjde zároveň o plavbu poslední. Jeho zkáza, při níž zahynulo přes 1500 lidí, se stala nejstrašlivější a zároveň nejslavnější námořní katastrofou všech dob. Následující strany přinášejí zasvěcený, mnohovrstevný příběh Titaniku od prvních odvážných plánů přes stavbu a slavnostní vyplutí z přístavu v anglickém Southamptonu po osudový střed s ledovcem. Nescházejí autentická svědectví členů posádky či cestujících ani množství vzácných archivních fotografií, konstrukčních detailů nebo palubních dokumentů. Zvláštní kapitoly se věnují vlastní tragédii a souhře nešťastných náhod, které k ní vedly. Dozvíme se také, jak probíhalo následné vyšetřování, kdo z něho vyšel jako hrdina, a čí...

Kromě dávného tajemství spojuje oba zločiny i neukojitelná touha po moci a bohatství, která ve své bezohlednosti nabývá nelidských rozměrů. Otázkou je, kolik podob zlo vlastně může mít, než narazí na dno?

Titanic: Ship of Lost Illusions - Kevin Brown

When it set sail on its ill-fated maiden voyage, RMS Titanic was a marvel of modern technology and the latest in luxury, providing a gilded setting and false sense of security for its passengers to act out their imagined ideal lives in a reflection of pre-First World War society. When disaster struck in the form of an iceberg four days into its maiden voyage, that society was frozen in a moment of time, revealing class, gender and racial discrimination that pervaded contemporary social attitudes. Kevin Brown takes a fresh approach in exploring the social attitudes to class, manliness, heroism and cowardice, social redemption, the proper role of women and the social, religious and racial prejudices revealed by the sinking. He re-evaluates the code of women and children first, revealing how attitudes glorifying manliness influenced the behaviour of passengers and crew during the sinking, as well as suggesting a narrative of chivalry and self-sacrifice to create heroes from the victims and brand the surviving men as cowards; an interpretation that is challenged here. Eyewitness accounts evoke the horror of the night and reveal the underlying ideas of the day. They also show that women played a less passive role than expected of them. The responses to the sinking by politicians across the spectrum, the labour movement and suffragettes, suffragists and anti-suffragists is explored to show more critical contemporary responses to the disaster that challenge the heroic narrative. It was a world that was never so confident in modernity after the disaster but yet still held on to illusions of chivalry.

Titanic Legacy - Dan E. Parkes

On 3 July 1930, a maid discovered the dead body of her employer on the floor of the sitting room in an upmarket apartment in Temple, London. The victim was 37-year-old Sidney Russell Cooke, mysteriously shot through the stomach by a hunting rifle. He was the husband of Titanic Captain Edward Smith’s only daughter, Helen, known to friends as ‘Mel’. Unknown to many, he was also an MI5 spy, described as a ‘prototype James Bond’ - and the esteemed Cambridge economist John Maynard Keynes’ lover.Never before published private letters and family photographs tell the true, untold story of a legendary captain, the mysterious death of a British spy and an inspirational daughter who stepped out of the shadow of misfortune to carve her own path. By the time Mel was 49 she had lost her father, mother, husband, son, and daughter, all in unusual circumstances. Yet she would become a pilot, a driver of fast cars, an artist’s muse and collector of fine art, living within a coterie of suffragettes, politicians, Russian spies, yachtsmen, gay lovers and the fabulously wealthy.
