Titanic Scandal: The Trial of the Mount Temple
£9.99
A steamer lay within sight of the RMS Titanic as she sank, according to ample witnesses – including highly experienced crew who studied this potential saviour through marine binoculars.
Officers calmed panicking passengers by telling them rescue was imminent. Captain E. J. Smith even instructed Titanic lifeboats to row to the tantalising stranger and return.
But the other ship did nothing.
Seen and pursued by launched lifeboats, the mystery ship had disappeared by daybreak, despite distress rockets she could not have failed to see, wireless appeals, and Morse lamp signalling at close quarters.
What ship was she?
Here at last is the compelling evidence. The British Board of Trade was told in 1912 of serious charges against the Canadian Pacific liner Mount Temple – yet failed to take any steps whatever. This book uncovers those allegations, the identity of claimants, and the reasons they must be taken seriously.
A century since the sinking comes the trial of the Mount Temple… and yours is the verdict.
Description
Encyclopedia Titanica Review
“The case this book weaves is fascinating, and like nothing else this reviewer has seen…. Undoubtedly, some will find this book controversial, others may reject it out-of-hand… But in presenting questions and doubts about a vessel whose role, until now, has been almost totally unexamined, Molony has performed a valuable service that history requires. The book is highly recommended.” — Reviewed by Charles Haas

I do hope this correction is of the "Mount Temple" being first on the scene of the Titanic real as she never did turn around to assist the Titanic and to be correct: The Carpathia was the first and only vessel to help those who survived that night of shame for the Mount Temple.
