Answer 2

Check Barnes and Nobel for histories of the Titanic

Pick out a few living authors. Look the authors up separately to find out were they are teaching. Many of them are history professors or associated in some way with universities

Go to the university web site and see if their web address is listed in the facility directory

If it is not listed write in care of the department web address

Send them an Email.
