Description
A new perspective on one of history's most infamous maritime disasters. In 1912, the White Star Line faced financial ruin after a collision between HMS Hawke and its sister ship Olympic. Desperate to avoid bankruptcy, they turned to an unconventional solution. Raimondo Vitillo, a Titanic survivor, claimed that a small ship had pulled alongside the doomed vessel in the moments before it sank. This remarkable story has been shrouded in mystery for decades, but John Hamer's novel sheds new light on this intriguing tale. With meticulous research and attention to detail, Hamer brings this little-known chapter of history to life, raising questions about the events leading up to the Titanic's tragic fate.
