Publisher's Synopsis

If we learn the lesson of this tragedy, we shall lose no time in getting back to first principles. We shall reintroduce in all future passenger ships those simple and effective elements of safety-the double skin, the longitudinal bulkhead, and the watertight deck-which were conspicuous in the Great Eastern, and which alone can render such a ship as the Titanic unsinkable.
