Loss of the Steamship "Titanic"

About the author
This is not a conventional single-author book, but the published report of the British court that investigated the loss of the Titanic in 1912. The inquiry was conducted as a formal government proceeding, with Lord Mersey serving as wreck commissioner and leading the examination of witnesses and evidence.
Because of that, the "author" credited in library records is often the court itself: Great Britain. Court to investigate loss of steamship "Titanic". The text is best understood as an official historical document rather than a personal narrative, bringing together testimony, technical details, and conclusions about one of the most famous maritime disasters in history.
For listeners and readers today, its appeal lies in that immediacy. Rather than retelling the sinking from a later perspective, it preserves the voices, questions, and judgments of the original investigation, making it a valuable primary source for anyone interested in the Titanic, maritime safety, or early twentieth-century Britain.
