Summary:
First time in paperback: A New York Times best seller and "a
masterful treatment of the Titanic disaster" -Walter Lord, author of
A Night to Remember This passionate yet balanced narrative explores
every facet of the Titanic's history, including her spectacular
conception in an Irish shipyard and the ambitious modern-day attempts
to salvage her. The familiar story of the RMS Titanic-from her
encounter with an iceberg to her demise some three hours later,
taking with her more than fifteen hundred people-still looms large in
the popular imagination, and in Daniel Butler's as well. He studied
the Titanic's history for thirty years, intensively compiling facts
about the disaster and the players involved (from Captain Smith and
his crew to the ill-fated third-class passengers). He even made the
startling discovery of a nearby ship that ignored the Titanic's
distress call because the shipmates were afraid to awaken their
captain. Drawn from primary sources and period accounts, this new
narrative puts the disaster into historical context and will serve as
an essential historical resource for scholars of Titanic lore.
