White Star's Celtic, Cedric, Baltic & Adriatic were impressive and highly successful liners. They are often overlooked, however, since they were not "express" liners and operated on the Liverpool-New Your route. This book goes a long way to rectifying that situation.

  • Coordination Failure and the Sinking of Titanic
    The Sinking of the Unsinkable Titanic: Mental Inertia and Coordination Failures Fu-Lai Tony Yu Department of Economics and Finance Hong Kong Shue Yan University Abstract This study investigates the sinking of the Titanic from the theory of human agency derived from Austrian economics, interpretation sociology and organizational theories. Unlike most arguments in organizational and management sciences, this study offers a subjectivist perspective of mental inertia to understand the Titanic disaster. Specifically, this study will argue that the fall of the Titanic was mainly due to a series of coordination and judgment failures that occurred simultaneously. Such systematic failures were manifested in the misinterpretations of the incoming events, as a result of mental inertia, by all parties concerned in the fatal accident, including lookouts, telegram officers, the Captain, lifeboat crewmen, architects, engineers, senior management people and owners of the ship. This study concludes that no matter how successful the past is, we should not take experience for granted entirely. Given the uncertain future, high alertness to potential dangers and crises will allow us to avoid iceberg mines in the sea and arrived onshore safely. Keywords: The R.M.S. Titanic; Maritime disaster; Coordination failure; Mental inertia; Judgmental error; Austrian and organizational economics 1. The Titanic Disaster So this is the ship they say is unsinkable. It is unsinkable. God himself could not sink this ship. From Butler (1998: 39) [The] Titanic… will stand as a monument and warning to human presumption. The Bishop of Winchester, Southampton, 1912 Although the sinking of the Royal Mail Steamer Titanic (thereafter as the Titanic) is not the largest loss of life in maritime history1, it is the most famous one2.

It was launched on 17 October 1871. It made its maiden voyage on 11 April 1872 from Liverpool to New York, via Queenstown. In May of the same year it made a record westbound crossing, between Queenstown and Sandy Hook, which had been held by Cunard's Scotia since 1866. In October 1874 the Adriatic collided with Cunard's Parthia. Both ships were leaving New York harbour and steaming parallel when they were drawn together. The damage to both ships, however, was superficial. The following year, in March 1875, it rammed and sank the US schooner Columbus off New York during heavy fog. In December it hit and sank a sailing schooner in St. George's Channel. The ship was later identified as the Harvest Queen, as it was the only ship unaccounted for. The misfortune of the Adriatic continued when, on 19 July 1878, it hit the brigantine G.A.

  • The Log of Lt Cdr E C Roden
    THE LOG OF LIEUTENANT COMMANDER E C RODEN RNR HMS Caronia 3 August 1914 - 15 May 1915 Edited by E J Scaplehorn Published by kind permission of Victoria and Fred Silvester © Liverpool Nautical Research Society 2020 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The Liverpool Nautical Research Society wishes to thank Victoria and Fred Silvester for allowing us to publish Lieutenant Commander Roden’s Log, and for their encouragement and support in enabling this important memoir of the Great War at sea to reach a wider audience. We are particularly indebted to Fred Silvester for producing the first typed transcript, which made subsequent editing far less difficult than it would otherwise have been. We would also like to thank the Liverpool RNR Officers’ Club (‘Sea Urchins’) and especially Lieutenant Commander John Glover RD RNR for highlighting the existence of the Log, and for help with editing. The biographical introduction below is largely derived from a ‘Sea Urchins’ publication commemorating their centenary. We are fortunate that the transcribed deck log of HMS Caronia is available online at http://www.naval-history.net/OWShips-WW1-08-HMS_Caronia.htm. This has been invaluable in setting Lieutenant Commander Roden’s private log within its historical context. The appearance of Lieutenant Commander Roden’s initials throughout the deck log confers an immediacy which enhances both documents. We acknowledge with gratitude the contribution of Naval-History.Net in developing this article. 1 EDITOR’S NOTE The original log, in the possession of Victoria Silvester, is handwritten in a foolscap-sized notebook with board covers. It was passed down to Victoria from her mother, Mary Lloyd-Davies, daughter of Lt Cdr Roden.

  • THE MEMOIR of EDNAH SHEPARD THOMAS PERSPECTIVES on WRITING Series Editors, Susan H
    THE MEMOIR OF EDNAH SHEPARD THOMAS PERSPECTIVES ON WRITING Series Editors, Susan H. McLeod and Rich Rice The Perspectives on Writing series addresses writing studies in a broad sense. Consistent with the wide ranging approaches characteristic of teaching and scholarship in writing across the curriculum, the series presents works that take divergent perspectives on working as a writer, teaching writing, administering writing programs, and studying writing in its various forms. The WAC Clearinghouse, Colorado State University Open Press, and University Press of Colorado are collaborating so that these books will be widely available through free digital distribution and low-cost print editions. The publishers and the Series editors are committed to the principle that knowledge should freely circulate. We see the opportunities that new technologies have for further de- mocratizing knowledge. And we see that to share the power of writing is to share the means for all to articulate their needs, interest, and learning into the great experiment of literacy.
