Little Book Of Titanic

The RMS Titanic was the largest passenger steamship in the world when it
set off on its maiden voyage from Southampton on April 10th 1912. Four days
into the trip, on April 14th, the magnificent cruiser struck an iceberg and
sank, resulting in the deaths of 1,517 people in one of the biggest
peacetime maritime disasters in history. This special 100th anniversary
book not only charts her fateful journey but also describes the media
frenzy about her famous victims, the legends surrounding the sinking, the
resulting changes to maritime law, and the discovery of the wreck - all
factors that have contributed to our long-held fascination with the
ill-fated ocean liner.
