August 17, 2018. Over the years, there has been widespread speculation on how much time separated Titanic‘s official shipboard time, on the night of the disaster, from time in New York, Southampton, London, and other areas ashore. Much of what has been postulated over the years is based on conjecture or just plain bad assumptions. After months of painstaking research, however, our international team of maritime historians has now released our latest peer review article, “Time & Again: Titanic‘s Final Hours”. It presents an astonishing amount of new material on the subject, including unprecedented finds on the Magneta system of shipboard clocks and how they did, and did not, work.

January 26, 2017. Recently, there has been a wave of media coverage on the Titanic, related to a new program entitled Titanic: The New Evidence. The underlying theory is that new evidence shows that the Titanic disaster was caused by a coal bunker fire. Although widely covered, the claim is historically inaccurate. I was privileged to work with a worldwide team of historians to create the new peer review article, Titanic: Fire & Ice (Or What You Will)”, to rebut these claims with the facts.

Our ongoing commitment to bring you facts and help recreate the era of Lusitania and the many liners of the golden era on the Atlantic continues!

This video is performed on a Lusitania-era 1905 piano, and features two Lusitania songs. 'Lusitania Intermezzo' is a world premiere, likely not heard since 1915 or earlier; it will appear on Volume 2 of our 'Liners of the Golden Era' album at HFX Studios.

Please do not miss this important post from the original page for our upcoming two-volume book set, 'Lusitania: An Illustrated Biography'. This post includes important text information and a link to the high-resolution version of this illustration we've prepared showing why we know the torpedo struck Lusitania much further aft than is commonly thought. We feel it is very important to place this corrective post in the public record to help set that record straight quickly. #lusitania

One-hundred-thirteen years ago today, Harland & Wolff Yard No. 400, TSS Olympic, was launched. (At the time, TSS, or 'triple-screw ship', was a correct designation; similarly, before they had entered service, Lusitania and Mauretania had been referred to as QTSS for their quartet of turbine engines.) When Olympic started down the ways, she became the largest moving object in the world, a trophy that her slightly lighter sister Titanic would not take at the moment of her launch the following ...
