Bernard Walker is a critical examination of maritime safety, specifically addressing the construction flaws that led to the Titanic disaster, written in the early 20th century. The book argues that the focus on speed and luxury in modern shipbuilding has compromised safety, making the case for a systematic return to foundational safety principles seen in earlier ships like the Great Eastern. The author aims to highlight the essential need for better safety designs in ocean liners to prevent tragedies like the sinking of the Titanic.  The opening of the work sets the stage for a profound analysis of the factors that contributed to the Titanic's rapid sinking following a collision with an iceberg. Walker discusses the false sense of security that arose from the ship's size and supposed state-of-the-art safety features, which failed to prevent disaster. He notes critical shortcomings in the ship's design, such as the inadequacy of watertight compartments and the flawed regulations governing ship safety. Walker emphasizes the importance of revisiting effective safety measures, particularly emphasizing the need for ships to be built as their own lifeboats, thereby reducing reliance on lifeboats and improving overall maritime safety.
