Designed as the technological marvel of her age, RMS Titanic was hailed as the largest, strongest, and safest ship of the early 20th Century, showcasing Great Britain's shipbuilding prowess. However, the tragic fate of the 1,500 victims revealed a different reality: much of the ship was constructed from substandard, recycled scrap iron, and its sinking was the result of gross negligence and greed. Crime investigator Robert Strange delves into scientific and forensic evidence from metal recovered from the ocean floor and explores hidden archives from the shipyard to address the question: 'Who Sank the Titanic?' The examination reveals the intense cost-cutting measures that led to one of the greatest maritime disasters in history. The book highlights negligence in the ship's planning and construction, implicating the owners, planners, builders, and government officials in a tragedy that resulted in mass loss of life. Robert Strange, a seasoned producer and director of TV programs in the UK and US, has spent five years researching this subject, drawing on his background as a Fleet Street investigative reporter and crime correspondent, to shed light on the Titanic disaster.
