It is beautifully illustrated with LOTS OF ILLUSTRATIONS & PHOTOGRAPHS!!! made expressly for this book!
Much has been written about the Titanic and the events of April, 1912. The sinking was rightly called, “The end of an era.” It was also an event which prompted an outpouring of sentiment, religious musing, and a painful re-evaluation of the social climate in early twentieth-century America. Following the sinking, as officials in both the United States and Britain scrambled for an explanation of the disaster, myths about the RMS Titanic arose.
HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED?
This ILLUSTRATED EDITION! provides a detailed description of the entire event from debarkation in England to the wreck itself and through to the rescue by the CARPATHIA. It also discusses the lessons learned from the disaster and offers suggestions on what should be done to see that such a tragedy never occurs again. There are 60 pages of a critical Senate Inquiry Report and the TITANIC COMMITEE’S REPORT on the disaster. Additionally, included is a “LIST OF THE DEAD” at the back of the book.
