ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

No matter how much hard work and countless of hours are put into creating a book such as this, its ultimate success depends on more than the work a single individual. In particular, I would like to thank George Behe and Bill Wormstedt for their unflinching encouragement and support from the very start of this project. Not only did they both take many hours of their own time to painstakingly proofread this work, but they also provided me with many constructive ideas and creative suggestions along the way. I would also like to thank Dr. Paul Lee for sharing a scan of the original handwritten wireless log of the SS Birma with me, and for discussing the various entries that were written on it. His own book, The and the Indifferent Stranger, is extremely well researched and is highly recommended reading for any serious student of the Californian affair. Another resource of information worth mentioning was Dave Bilnitzer’s former website, “The Titanic and the Mystery Ship,” which examined various arguments put forth by various authors of the Californian affair, and allowed the reader to compare those arguments with verbatim extracts from the 1912 inquiries and other contemporary sources. In addition to the above, I would also like to thank Tim Maltin for providing me with copies of Almerian’s Greenwich Mean Noon Observations and Daily Journal forms for her eastbound voyage that he uncovered, and for letting me include them in my articles and books. I would also like to thank Bruce Beveridge for allowing me to use his general arrangement plans of Titanic on more than one occasion in many of my publications, and to thank those in charge of the City Archives for providing me with a copy of the original design plans of the SS Californian for use in my research and published work. Finally, any errors within this work are, of course, entirely my own responsibility.
