Or so it was thought. In the best selling book 'The Riddle of the Titanic',' Robin Gardiner and his co-author Dan van der Vat** shocked the world with their claims that it was not,in fact,the Titanic but the sister ship,the Olympic,which finished its days amidst the icy waters of the North Atlantic on that fateful night.                     Now in his controversial follow-up - 'Titanic: The Ship that Never Sank' - Robin Gardiner goes further into the scandal of the sinking,not only with more evidence on the alleged 'scam' perpetrated by the While Star line but also with further evidence showing the possible collusion of the British government in the cover-up.                                                                Robin Gardiner's remarkable new account of what really happened on that terrible night reveals fresh evidence which sheds new light on the circumstances. Robin Gardiner has a lifelong interest in the history of the Titanic, and his in-depth research has led him to pursue a theory that the Titanic disaster was not entirely accidental.He continues to work on uncovering material to support the theory outlined in his best-selling book.                                               Please contact the seller,particularly ALL overseas buyers,for correct,insured or uninsured at own risk, shipping/P+p quotes BEFORE placing your order, especially if ordering any multiple.                              N.B.
