Product Description

Product Description

80 years later, the glamorous yet tragic story of the Titanic, her sinking with the loss of more than 1500 lives, and the mysterious aftermath, still holds endless fascination. This chronicle of the entire saga has been revised and expanded, bringing the story up-to-date. It features the latest information on the wreck, her artefacts, and the controversy surrounding various attempts at recovering these, also the most complete passenger list yet published. The book tells the entire story, from the liner's design as the supposedly safest vessel afloat, her maiden voyage carrying the social, artistic and financial elite of two continents, her sinking on 15th April 1912 after hitting an iceberg, the still unresolved mystery over why a ship apparently did not rush to the rescue, through to the discovery of the wreck of the Titanic in 1985, and on to the present day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teenager obsessed with the Titanic, 22 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Before the film hype, the hollywood fantasy, I thought I was the only one who was interested in the tragedy of the Titanic. I was wrong. This book told me everything I wanted to know. Amazing photographs of the ship herself, illustrations, artifacts, and a great description, often personal accounts of the great liners triumph of modern ship building and mankinds pride, and the trajedy that shoock the world. The best Titanic book around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most comprehensive Titanic book to date, 1 July 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Titanic Triumph (Hardcover)
There is, by no means, a shortage of books about the Titanic; ranging from her construction, to the members of her crew. But very few books go farther than that. This books does.

This book gives the reader the most comprehensive re-telling of not only the plight of the Titanic disaster, but the life of the Titanic. From her conception, to her fitting out, to her fateful journey, it is all covered. Along with this book is a complete passenger list to be found. It also covers the builders, and the White Star Line in great detail, which is not often included in other books.

If your craving for knowledge about the Titanic can't be quenched by any of the books you have already, this one certainly will.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of GREAT pictures!, 10 July 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Titanic Triumph (Hardcover)
This book has lots and lots of pictures, which is great for those of you who are not big on reading. I loved the insurance claims from the various 1st class passengers, some of them were extremely detailed so much so as to be ridiculous (Charlotte Cardeza's for example) Oh, to be rich in 1912! The pictures were eye-candy for a Titanic nut like myself, it is a very detailed, excellent book!
