The Night The Titanic Slept: A Maritime What-If That Became a Global Turning Point (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798264352577)

On the night of April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic steamed across the icy North Atlantic under clear skies and calm seas. History remembers what followed as the greatest maritime disaster of the twentieth century. But what if it had unfolded differently?

When Captain Edward J. Smith defies pressure to maintain speed and instead orders the ship to stop, the decision changes everything. The Titanic collides with an iceberg-but survives.

Through richly imagined vignettes of passengers, crew, and New Yorkers who later welcome them ashore, The Night the Titanic Slept reimagines the doomed voyage as a story of wisdom, resilience, and reform. Spanning tense hours at sea, the emotional aftermath in New York, global inquiries, wartime service, and multigenerational reflections, this alternate history is both a gripping "what if" and a meditation on the power of a single choice.

For romantics, historians, and dreamers alike, this is the Titanic story rewritten-not of loss, but of survival.
