Скачать или смотреть The Financial Story of the Titanic: The Economics Behind a Profitable Disaster

The sinking of the RMS Titanic is remembered as a human tragedy—but behind the disaster was a complex financial machine that did not fail the people who funded it.

This documentary investigates the economics behind Titanic: construction costs, insurance coverage, ownership structures, and how the loss financially benefited the White Star Line and its powerful backers. We break down who insured the ship, how payouts compared to actual losses, what liabilities were avoided, and why the disaster stabilized—rather than destroyed—the company’s balance sheet.

From underinsurance myths to overlooked accounting details, this is a forensic financial autopsy of a catastrophe that reshaped maritime law and corporate risk management.

Was Titanic a financial failure… or a profitable disaster hidden beneath the wreckage?

This is the dark intersection of luxury, capital, and catastrophe at sea.
