Robert Hichens has gone down in history as the man who was given the famous order “ Hard-a-Starboard” in a desperate attempt to steer the Titanic away from an iceberg—but failed. Following this, his falling out with the ‘ Unsinkable Molly Brown’ over his actions in lifeboat 6 saw him branded a coward & his name indelibly tarnished.

Robert was one of the most important witnesses at both the US & British Inquiries, answering hundreds of gruelling questions. His testimony became the ‘traditional’ story of the tragedy people know today.

In The Man Who Sank Titanic, Robert’s great-granddaughter Sally Nilsson seeks to set the record straight & reveal the true character of the man her family knew. This is one man’s story of survival, betrayal & determination.

Here Kipling displays his descriptive panache and realistic boldness. Shrewd, audacious, abrasive and challenging, he remains absorbingly readable.
