Lightoller , most senior officer to have survive disaster, covered up error in two inquiries on the both sides of Atlantic because he was worried it would bankrupt ill fated liners’ owner & put his colleague out of the job. “instead of the steering Titanic safely round to left of iceberg, once this had been spotted dead ahead, steerman, Robert Hitchins, had panicked & turned it wrong way.”
Patten, who made revelation to coincide with publication of her new novel “ Good As Gold” into which her account of the events are woven, said that conversion from sail ships to the steam meant there were two different steering system. Crucially, one system is meant for turning wheel one way & another in completely opposite directions.
