100 years after the most infamous shipwreck in history, imagine: What If Titanic Didnâ??t Sink? Perhaps no disaster in history has endured the scrutiny reserved for the sinking of the RMS Titanic on her maiden voyage on April 15, 1912. Yet nearly a century after the disaster, there is perhaps one question that remains unanswered about the legendary British steamship: What if Titanic didnâ??t sink and the rich and poor she carried had survived that terrible night? Titanic was a marvel of luxury and innovation. But it was the names on her passenger list that said it all. The British Linerâ?'s first trek across the Atlantic was not just an adventure for the well to do. It was a happening. The voyage was a gathering of pre-war power and influence where deals were done, markets were made and futures were set. Titanic was the worldâ?'s greatest symbol of wealth and success for the very fewest. For those who could afford the enormous price of a first class stateroom, it was the place to be. But after colliding with an iceberg while recklessly racing across the North Atlantic, eminent Captain Edward J. Smith learns that his ship is doomed -- unless he makes decisions that can save Titanic and her remarkable cargo against all odds. Twenty years later, Titanic has enjoyed a successful career and the privileged who sailed on her maiden voyage have become the worldâ?'s wealthiest financiers and industrialists.. All have one thing in common: the power to influence history. A new President, himself a Titanic survivor, is slowly leading the United States out of economic depression but international hostilities are building again and another World War is inevitable. He reaches out to his fellow Titanic survivors. Together, can they rewrite the course of history? Or have they once again unwittingly boarded Titanic for her final voyage?
