Product Description
Review
'Tim Maltin has done a fine job of dispelling the myths that have attached themselves to the Titanic saga since the great vessel disappeared beneath the surface of the North Atlantic in the spring of 1912. Carefully researched and meticulously detailed, this book is a worthy addition to the library of anyone who has even a passing interest in the Titanic disaster.' --George Behe, Vice President, Titanic Historical Society 1992-1996
'Tim Maltin has addressed the many questions and myths that have arisen over Titanic but he has gone one further than the average author in that he has brought forth the testimony of the people who were there, coupled with the latest research to back up his work. Maltin s book is a must for any Titanic enthusiast s collection.' --Bruce Beveridge, Founder, Titanic Research and Modeling Association
For once we have a book that addresses some of myths and popular legends that have propagated down the years and been repeated in books, articles, movies, TV documentaries, and most recently on the internet. It is well written with many references to the direct evidence presented first hand by those who were there at the formal inquiries that followed the disaster back in 1912. --Sam Halpern, Titanic researcher and author

Format:Hardcover
I bought this book as my kids were studying the titanic at school and I found it very intersting and believable. Unfortunately the school wasn't interested and decided to go with the ususal well know versions of everything

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very easy to read format presents facts which are otherwise hidden in longer tomes. Some of the things I didn't know turn out to be things I didn't need to know or were only vaguely relevant, for example rumours involving passengers. Exceelent summary of the safety aspects. The author is promising another book on the subject but what more can be added? In summary-good bedtime reading.

Format:Hardcover
This book is perfect in every way. Whether you are just starting to get interested in Titanic or if you're like myself, have been interested in Titanic for many many years. I must admit at first I was wary of the book because I thought it might have been like most books I have on Titanic, what say the same thing over and over, and I thought I knew everything. But after sitting down and reading this book even after the first page, I was so happy to read things that I have never heard or seen before. Its easy reading, and drags you in the more you read on. I was so dragged into it, I read it in a day.
I love how Tim has set out at the contents page, listing every theory in number, then sets out thoroughout the book, each number and evidence to back up whether its true, false or a possibility. Even some websites where you can see pictures or read stories about Titanic. Its books like this one, what keeps Titanics memory, and story alive, even after 98 years after its sinking.
I love how its got thick pages and hardback cover, and this will be one book I will be keeping to read again and again plus to past down to my daughter when shes old enough to read it and appreciate the story.
The only downside of this book I found was, it could of done with a couple of pictures of maybe Titanic before and after it sunk, and pictures of some passengers what are mentioned in the book, so you can put images to the reading. But it was such a good book, that even without pictures, i couldnt put it down!

This great book
This is a book that I haven't been able to put down and have read in two days. It is in a very easy to digest format and the only downside is that there are no pictures or photo's.
