Summary

"The Titanic" explores the complete story of the infamous ocean liner, from its ambitious beginnings to its tragic sinking in the North Atlantic. It examines the vessel's design and construction, the social context of its maiden voyage, and the catastrophic events that led to its demise, arguing that the disaster was a result of multiple factors, including design flaws and insufficient safety regulations. The book emphasizes the importance of rigorous safety standards and the inherent fallibility of even the most advanced technology.

 
This exploration of maritime history reveals intriguing facts, such as the societal confidence in technology bordering on arrogance, and the stark social hierarchy evident in the disparities between first and third-class accommodations.

 
The book unfolds chronologically, starting with the White Star Line and the competitive transatlantic travel market, progressing through the ship's construction and the fateful voyage, and concluding with the aftermath, inquiries, and ongoing explorations of the wreck site.

 
Drawing on original blueprints, survivor testimonies, and modern wreck site expeditions, this book provides a balanced and evidence-based narrative for general readers interested in history, maritime enthusiasts, and students. It avoids sensationalism, focusing instead on a grounded historical presentation that connects engineering, sociology, and maritime history to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Titanic's enduring legacy.

    'Brave and deeply considered… Her experience, and Transsexual Apostate, shouldn't be dismissed' The Telegraph
    In a compelling first-hand account of what it means to be a transwoman – and where she feels the impulse comes from – Hayton explains why much of gender identity ideology is, in her view, false and damaging. Once a prominent member of the TUC LGBT+ committee, she charts how her views developed and put her at odds with the majority of trans activists. She issues a compassionate call to move beyond ideological conflicts, and to acknowledge the legitimate concerns that many have with an agenda that asserts that transwomen are women.
    Hayton's honest, humane and moving book shows that by accepting reality, transwomen can live their best lives based on the truth of who they are – rather than the fantasy of who they are not.
    'Brave, unflinching, insightful' - Professor Michael Bailey, author ofThe Man Who Would Be Queen
