Titanic Myths, Titanic Truths

Over the years I've become noted for not adhering to the conventional wisdom. Recently, I realized that it was difficult to connect my ideas together because they are spread over this forum and others. So, I created a modest new book, "Titanic Myths, Titanic Truths." It is available through Amazon as a print-on-demand softback. The price is deliberatly modest to ease wallet pain. Those who have been following my posts will find little new here. The book just puts everything between two covers. And, those who support the conventional wisdom are warned they probably shouldn't bother with this new book to avoid appoplectic fits.

Readers of "Titanic Myths, Titanic Truths" will discover that I appear to be arguing with myself because much of what I say now differs from my earlier book, "The Last Log Of The Titanic." This is true. I am arguing with myself. Never fear, however, I won the argument.

Thanks in advance to anyone who buys the book. Fair warning, though, I don't plan to defend or discuss it beyond this short announcement. I would rather spend my time on the forum debating specific issues.

Do you have the url in right? I just clicked on it, and it said it's not a functioning page on their site.

Also, how much is it? I wouldn't mind a copy, since I also don't have Last Log of the Titanic.

I only found a used copy on the UK Amazon site but was luckier at the US one. The new copy including postage to the UK was a reasonable £13 and so I placed an order. Looks interesting.

Regarding the URL for my book -- I just visited the U.S. Amazon site and found this:

Amazon.com: Titanic Myths, Titanic Truths: How A Series of Errors Caused History's Most Famous Maritime Disaster (9781456461751): Capt David G Brown: Books

You can also find it by typing in the title under "books" and go from there.

My original intention was to drain the e-book swamp, but the alligators of format incompatability got me. I got so frustrated I almost threw my shoe through the monitor. Maybe I should try again. For the moment, though, it's only a trade paperback book. If somebody really can't live without an e-file, I have a PDF of the page layouts.

Yes, reading things on the computer is handy, however, it is always nice to have a physical piece of book matter in your hand to come back to again and again. :)

Having bought and read this book, all I can say is that it is very imaginatively written.

Mr. Brown reshaped my thinking of Titanic. After reading 'Last Log' I had to re-think my book that I'm trying to write. Brown showed me that what I had always excepted may not be true, & personally made me get off my butt & do some original research (which I'm still doing lol). I do not necessarily believe all his views. nor do I believe all the views of anyone - Haas, Lord, Behe, Halpern & all the Titanic greats; but this is only BECAUSE Brown showed me (@ least) that I can think outside of the box & look beyond the excepted. On top of this there are details that Brown has introduced or interpreted that I never was aware of nor thought about. So I for one suggest anyone to please buy Mr. Brown's books.
