TITANIC legacy of the world's greatest ocean liner

Over eighty-five years ago the world celebrated its greatest maritime achievement, and shortly thereafter mourned its greatest maritime loss. Since that time, numerous books have been written on the Titanic and her legacy has certainly garnered an increased notoriety.
Now, in the most complete and definitive book ever published, TITANIC Legacy of the World's Greatest Ocean Liner brings to life the entire Titanic story—from her construction in the early 1900s to her present-day exploration at the bottom of the North Atlantic.
Published in cooperation with the guardians of the Titanic wreck site, RMS Titanic, Inc., and the Discovery Channel, TITANIC features contributions from historians John Eaton and Charlie Haas, and personal thoughts from William F. Buckley, Jr., while he explores the wreck site nearly two and a half miles beneath the ocean's surface. Discovery Channel documented the latest expedition and provided the critical scientific expertise needed to reveal for the first time how the Titanic sank.
Throughout its pages, TITANIC showcases the immense collection of fascinating artifacts that hâve been recovered from the site while it renders the history of her construction and launching, her notable first-class, second-class, and third-class passengers, the events that led to the tragic sinking, her ultimate discovery in 1985, and the most recent expeditions to the wreck site that hâve resulted in significant scientific and historical discoveries.
Unlike any other book ever published on the Titanic, these pages magnificently present the combined efforts of hundreds of individuals through years of historical and scientific research, study, exploration, and preservation—an appropriate tribute to the hundreds of people who lost their lives on that dreadful night.
