Description

On the calm, starlit night of Sunday, April 14, 1912, just five days after setting sail on her maiden voyage, the Titanic steamed full speed ahead into a North Atlantic icefield, collided with an iceberg, and sank within three hours, sending more than 1,500 passengers and crew to their deaths. For more than eighty-five years now, the terror and tragedy of that night has gripped the world's imagination, and the legacy of the Titanic has only continued to grow. Here, for the first time, is the most complete story of the Titanic - the construction of the largest and most luxurious ship the world had ever seen, her passengers and maiden voyage, the terrifying night of the sinking, the dramatic discovery, recovery, and conservation efforts, as well as astonishing new scientific information and artifacts gathered during recent expeditions to the site. Finally, answers to many of the enduring mysteries surrounding the Titanic. - Features photographs from recent RMS Titanic, Inc. expeditions. - Includes new research, insights, and images from the acclaimed Discovery Channel documentary Titanic: Anatomy of a Disaster.
