The lost of the Titanic is the UK's best-know and deadliest peacetime disaster. This article revisits the causes of, and inquiry into, the sinking. It illustrates how the disaster was an early example of te kind of injustice and regulatory failure that has often been central in more recent catastrophes. A regulatory body had, in effect, to inquire been central in more recent catastrophes. A regulatory body had, in effect, to inquire into its own shortcomings; therefore too little balme was laid in high places, and to much in low places. The Titanic report scapegoated the captain of another vessel, although the question of his blameworthiness was not read into the inquiry's instructions until after it had heard him.
