11:40

At 11:40pm on 14 April 1912, Titanic collided with an iceberg in the middle of the North Atlantic and began to sink. From the moment the iceberg was spotted, the ship was on a collision course with destiny, with the immediate aftermath of the collision becoming a race against time for those on board to inspect the damage and determine Titanic’s fate. In this new study, the events of both the evasive manoeuvres and the subsequent damage assessment are broken down, order by order, moment by moment, giving a forensic analysis of these crucial events. In doing so, with the backing of an exhaustive collection of both historical and modern data, along with over twenty years of personal research by Brad Payne, facts are separated from myths and the most accurate truths about what really happened aboard Titanic during these critical moments are revealed.

Spoliers: Do Not read until you have read the book.

11:40 - Corrections & Amendments

Despite the long task of editing, errors are bound to happen. Here are some corrections that will hopefully be reflected in future editions. These edits are small and do not take away from the overall story. 

Additionally, during the publication process, some text was edited out due to space, while even after publication, further research is taking place. As such, some admendments featuring additonal information or new insights will be presented  here.

Enjoy!

Corrections & Admedments

Titanic: Conception to Completion tells the story of how Titanic came to be. From the infrastructure, planning, and decisions that made the Olympic-class liners possible to the chronological story of Titanic's construction and development, the book explores an often-overlooked part of Titanic's legacy.
Drawing extensively upon contemporary newspapers, technical publications, archival material, and other period sources, Titanic: Conception to Completion takes the reader back to the years when Titanic was not yet a legend, but an ambitious project taking shape. Wherever possible, the story unfolds as it did at the time—with limited foresight and through the accounts of those who witnessed, reported upon, designed, and built the great ship.
The book is currently available as a Living Research Edition, allowing readers to follow the project as it continues to grow through new chapters, revisions, and ongoing research.
To purchase access and learn more about what the Living Research Edition entails, please visit the Titanic: Conception to Completion Gumroad page.
You can also join the Titanic: Conception to Completion Facebook group for updates, discussions, behind-the-scenes research, and future release announcements.
