Was the ship really christened before setting sail on its maiden voyage? How did its wireless operators fail so badly, and why did the nearby <i>Californian</i>, just ten miles away when the <i>Titanic</i> struck the iceberg, not come to the rescue?</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Together for the first time, Lord&rsquo;s classic bestseller<i> A Night to Remember</i> and his subsequent study <i>The Night Lives On </i>offer remarkable insight into the maritime catastrophe that continues to fascinate and horrify a full century later. </div>
