P. 509, for the following text: "The reported bearing of Titanic’s foundering was latitude 41° 46' N., longitude 50° 14' W. Titanic’s final position was determined not by celestial observations, but by dead reckoning. As history now records, this position was off by about thirteen-and-a-half miles, the ship’s actual position at the time of collision being further along her course track than estimated. This apparently resulted from 4th Officer Boxhall overestimating Titanic’s speed by about two knots."

Correction: The coordinates given are for Titanic's reported position, not bearing. This error in position, as determined by Boxhall, placed her estimated position further along her course track than she actually was at the time of the sinking, although the reason for his error has never been conclusively determined.

P. 511, in the following, the indicated text should be deleted:

“The chronometer on British ships was kept by the Master, who employed it to calculate the ship’s position at noon every day. As the apparent movement of the sun across the sky was at a uniform speed it was only necessary to ascertain when the sun was at its highest point, note the time on the chronometer, and work out the longitude based on the difference in time between ‘local noon’ and Greenwich Mean Time."

P. 518, in the following text the word “Cherub” should be deleted, with a footnote added:

“Titanic’s Cherub log + was deployed continuously while at sea and checked every two hours by the Quartermaster stationed on the Poop Deck.”

+ Although Titanic carried a log of the ‘Neptune’ model, the seamen on Titanic frequently referred to it as the 'Cherub log' because that is what this type had become known as, even though the model name had changed through the years with upgrades in design

P's. 158 & 159, the captions for Figs. 7-28 and 7-29 have been inadvertently switched.

P. 579, under “Sails” - The text reads “The sail rig was a type known as a ‘standing lug rig’.” This should read ‘dipping lug rig’.

P. 580, Fig. 23-45 in the book illustrates a standing lug rig. The correct image shown should be a dipping lug rig.

P. 465, Fig. 20-13: "In this impressive image taken May 1, 1911, a team of twenty Shire horses haul’s Titanic’s anchor out of the Hingley works on the beginning of its long journey to Belfast. In this image the anchor, being transported by the haulage firm of W. A Ree, is being pulled up Northfield Road in Netherton enroute TO Dudley Station. From there it will be transported by the London & North Western Railway to Fleetwood on the coast, where it will be loaded on the F. Kemp & Co. steamer Duke of Albany and transported across the Irish Sea to Belfast."

P. 287, towards the end of paragraph 2, in the following sentence, the information in bold:
"In five days, sixteen-and-three-quarter hours, at an average speed of 21.7 knots, Olympic had consumed a remarkably low 3,540 tons of coal with an average consumption of just under 1.25 lb/HP/hr."

Should be changed to read:

"In five days, fifteen hours and two minutes, at an average speed of 21.43 knots, Olympic had consumed a remarkably low 3,540 tons of coal with an average consumption of just under 1.27 lb/HP/hr."

  P. 350, endnote #22: The specifications for the three-bladed center propeller also included a diameter of 17ft and a pitch of 14ft 6in.

P. 121, In the drawing of WTB 'B', the caption incorrectly identifies its location as Frame 134 F.   This caption should read Frame 114 F, as shown in the diagram.
