This was written, on assignment, over fifteen years ago under the title Titanic a Search for the Truth. The assignment was to be in argument form, which is why I chose this writing style and title. Though some of my views have been modified by the research I have done since first writing this, the work is still accurate as it is written, and is published here as I completed it in 1993.
