Titanic

From the ear-jarring clamor of its construction to the chaotic and heart-wrenching aftermath of its calamitous end, this sympathetic account of the Titanic story vividly brings the tragedy to life. With a fifteen page historical survey that provides insightful and interesting commentary in the form of obscure and little-known facts, as well as multi-dimensional biographies of the three key-players in the tragedy: J. Bruce Ismay, owner of the White Star Line; E. J. Smith, the captain of the Titanic; and Thomas Andrews, the ship's designer; this edition is not one to be missed. In addition, a sparse yet generous sprinkling of illustrations gathered from various newspapers and literature of the period, as well as two original drawings by the editor, can also be found.
