Would the damage have been lessened?* Just how culpable were J. Bruce Ismay, director of the shipping company, who managed to find a place aboard a lifeboat; Sir Cosmo and Lady Duff Gordon, who not only took places in a third-full lifeboat but may have discouraged the boat crew from returning to the scene to save others; or Capt. Stanley Lord of the nearby steamship Californian, accused of failing to respond to the Titanic's summonses for help?* What were Capt. Smith's final moments?* Was there a "third ship" besides the Californian in the area, capable of executing an early rescue operation?* What was on the mind of wireless operator Jack Phillips when, during the last minutes at his post, he transmitted the enigmatic signal "V"—and repeated it?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
