THE TITANIC INQUIRY – HISTORY
8.30pm – Australian Exclusive Premiere
The Titanic Inquiry is a wholly fresh look at what really happened on that fateful night in April 1912. An entire century later we seek to ensure that the story of the Californian Incident does not remain the greatest story never told! caused. This drama explores the theory that it might not have been so, but for the fatal mistakes of Captain Stanley Lord and the crew of the Californian, which was within range of the Titanic on that fateful night, almost 100 years ago. This courtroom drama, based on the official British Inquiry into the “Californian Incident” held in Westminster in 1912, recreates the actual events and evidence as presented by the various witnesses to the tragedy. Despite a concerted attempt by Captain Stanley Lord to cover up his mishandling of the crisis, the Inquiry ultimately found that “…the Californian could have pushed through the ice, come to the assistance of the Titanic and saved most, if not all, of the fifteen hundred lives that were lost.”
