Follow on Google News | New Evidence on Titanic Steering shows novel to be possibleTheory of Titanic’s Sinking holds firm thanks to the added support of author Louise Patten, granddaughter of Titanic second officer Charles Lightoller.
By: Troy Veenstra Louise Patten, author and Granddaughter of the Titanic’s second officer Charles Lightoller, stated in a press release yesterday (September 22, 2010) “The Titanic hit an iceberg in 1912 because of a basic steering error and only sank as fast as it did because an official persuaded the captain to continue sailing” (Mike Collett-White, Routers). Furthermore Patten states that her grandfather, “heard not only about the fatal mistake but also the fact that J. Bruce Ismay — chairman of Titanic's owner, the White Star Line — persuaded the captain to continue sailing, sinking the ship hours faster than would otherwise have happened. In Titanic: Echo of the Dying Confession, author Troy Veenstra showed this by introducing a memo from Ismay which was sent out to all officers of the White Star Lines, just prior to the maiden voyage of the Titanic, informing all officers that their immediate resignation would be expected due to any incident involving the damage and/or loss of a White Star Ship, as White Star was their own insurers and thus could result not only in their own loss of livelihood but the companies financial ruin. Patten adds further weight to Veenstra’s theory of events when she stated that her Grandfather, “covered up the error in two inquiries on both sides of the Atlantic because he was worried it would bankrupt the ill-fated liner's owners and put his colleagues out of a job.” Which, as shown in “Titanic: Echo of the Dying Confession,” Titanic: Echo of the Dying Confession can be found at www.amazon.com as well as www.bn.com by author Troy Veenstra.
