" TITANIC " DISASTER The Official Transcript of the United States senate Hearings into the sinking of the RMS TITANIC April 19-May 25, 1912 SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE ON COMMERCE, UNITED STATES senate New York, N. Y. Introduction The sinking of the passenger liner TITANIC in 1912 is one of those historical events that as always captured the imagination of researchers and the general public alike. Drama, pathos, cowardice, heroism and self-sacrifice -- all are vital parts of the story of the greatest tragedy to have taken place at sea up to that time. But legends have sometimes become part of the TITANIC saga, too, and many of these legends have arisen solely because the public has not had easy access to accurate, well-documented information about the tragedy. Books about the TITANIC abound, but -- in a sense -- these books serve as "filters" of primary historical sources and put the reader one step "further away" from those people who actually *experienced* the TITANIC disaster themselves.
