Book excerpt: "... [This book] is the life story of Charles Herbert Lightoller ... who is best known as the only senior officer to survive the sinjing of Titanic ...

In this updated and revised edition ... the author reveals startling new evidence relating to the sighting of thye iceberg (refuting the long-held view that negligence on the part of the captain and crew contributed to the collision), evidence that demands re-ebaluation of the official findings. ..."--Book jacket.
