Books mentioned on CLASSIC: Titanic Conspiracies
The 1912 sinking of the Titanic left an indelible mark on Western culture, so it's no surprise that more than a decade later revisionists and fringe theorists continue to claim there's something more to the tragic story. Join Ben, Matt and Noel as they take a closer look at the true story of the Titanic.
Ben Bowlin recommended The red market by Scott M. Carney and others, and discussed Titanic: The Ship That Never Sank? by Robin Gardiner, Futility, Or The Wreck of the Titan by Morgan Robertson, and The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe.
