11:40

From the moment the iceberg was spotted to the moment Titanic's fate was realised, it was a race against time for the 2,208 souls on board. At 11:40 p.m. on 14 April 1912, Titanic collided with an iceberg in the middle of the North Atlantic. Less than three hours later, it had disappeared completely beneath the waves. From the second the iceberg hove into view, the ship was on a collision course with destiny, those on board embarking on a race against time to inspect the damage and determine their fates. 11:40: Analysis of Evasive Manoeuvres & Damage Assessment on RMS Titanic is a comprehensive new study that breaks down and forensically analyses every event on that fateful night, order by order, moment by moment. With the backing of an exhaustive collection of both historical and modern data, along with over twenty years of personal research, Brad Payne separates fact from myth, revealing the truth about what really happened on board Titanic during its critical last moments.

Brad Payne is a lifelong Titanic enthusiast, who has given a presentation on the subject at the University of Puget Sound, and published a number of articles on Encyclopaedia Titanica. He has spent twenty years researching the topic for this, his first book. He lives in Washington, USA.
