TITANIC: THE NEW EVIDENCE

She was the largest ship ever built, believed to be unsinkable. When RMS Titanic went down on her maiden voyage taking 1500 people to their death, it sent shock waves across the world and started a debate that still rages today.

Why, when the Titanic received several warnings of icebergs ahead, did the captain steam full speed towards them without changing course? A full two hours after the collision, the Titanic was safely afloat before she inexplicably gave way and took hundreds of passengers to their deaths. What happened to make her sink so rapidly?

With the use of never before seen photographic evidence, and using pioneering new graphic techniques, we reveal the real story for the very first time.
