Perhaps the most enduringĀ legend of Titanic is the mystery ship, the fabled vessel seen in the distance that could have saved all her passengers from freezing or drowning. But what was the mystery ship, and was she the Californian, a cargo/passenger ship that, according to her captain, was stuck in ice over the horizon? At the enquiry into the sinking, Captain Lord of the Californian was castigated and blamed for the loss of life on Titanic, but forĀ 90 years there has been proof that his ship could not have been the mystery ship. In this book, Senan Moloney looks at the evidence and makesĀ a compelling case for Lord's innocence.
