Description
This is the report of the government inquiry into the loss of the Titanic, held immediately after the disaster. The official inquiry reveals some remarkable facts which have been lost in popular re-tellings of the story. A ship of the same line, only a few miles away should have been able to rescue passengers, so why did this not happen? Many such questions remain unanswered and the full story has not yet been told. Uncovered Editions are historic official papers which have not previously been available in a popular form.
