The Titanic and the Californian by Peter Padfield
Published in 1965 by Hodder and Stoughton Ltd.
Printed in Great Britain | 318 pages | Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and diagrams | Index

Published in 1965, The Titanic and the Californian examines one of the most debated aspects of the 1912 disaster: the actions and position of the Leyland liner Californian on the night Titanic struck the iceberg.

Rather than retelling the sinking in general terms, Padfield focuses on the long-standing controversy surrounding whether the Californian was within visual range of Titanic and failed to respond to her distress signals. Writing from the perspective of both historian and professional mariner, he analyzes testimony from inquiries, navigational data, witness accounts, and maritime practice of the period in order to reassess the events of that night.

The book is notable for challenging conclusions reached by the original British and American inquiries, particularly the widely held belief that the Californian could have intervened and that her inaction directly contributed to the loss of life. Padfield presents an alternative interpretation of distances, visibility, and the identification of rockets observed at sea, offering readers a detailed case study in how maritime evidence is weighed and re-examined.

This work has remained part of the broader historical discussion of Titanic, frequently cited in later scholarship both by those who find its reassessment persuasive and by those who argue for different conclusions. As such, it serves as a significant mid-20th-century contribution to the ongoing examination of one of maritime history’s most scrutinized events.
