"Captain Smith came running out of the chart room. 'What is it?' he asked. 'We have struck ice, Sir.'"
"Titanic" was published in 1912, shortly after the disaster. In his book, Young provides a detailed account of the Titanic's construction, the voyage, and the sinking, using information from survivors and other firsthand sources. He also analyzes the events leading up to the disaster, including the warnings that were ignored, the actions of the crew, and the inadequate number of lifeboats.
Alexander Bell Filson Young (1876–1938) was a journalist, who published the first book about the sinking of the RMS Titanic, called Titanic, in 1912 only 37 days after the sinking.
