Titanic Myth: The Californian Incident by Leslie Harrison is one of a number of books that argue the point that the Californian, and by default Captain Lord, couldn't have been the "mystery" ship that was seen from the deck of the sinking RMS Titanic. This book is best considered by those readers with a good working knowledge of the events of April 14-15 1912. There are those who believe that Captain Lord has been unfairly treated by history ("Lordites"), and those who believe that his apparent inaction warrants censure. Mr. Harrison is in the Lordite camp and he spends considerable effort to make his well argued points. There is no question that Titanic Myth is an interesting book, but it should probably be read in conjuntion with "The Ship that Stood Still" by Leslie Reade, along with Brown's "Last Log of the Titanic," which will help to explain the events of that tragic night. While Mr. Harrison offers a good arguement in support, I can't help but feel that there are still a number of unanswered questions pertaining to the actions of the crew of the Californian.
