St. Louis Post-Dispatch
No ship in history has the notoriety of the Titanic. There are more than 130 books inspired by the doomed liner. Google supplies 3.5 million references. More than a dozen motion pictures are devoted to the disaster, and the last one, James Cameron's 1997 award-winning "Titanic," no doubt has shaped many people's opinions about what happened the night of April 14, 1912.

The Titanic’s Last Secret
Monday 6th October 2008 8:38 PM
Newsweek
The Titanic sank into the North Atlantic 97 years ago. Since then, as Harvard historian Steven Biel quipped, "Only Jesus and the Civil War have been written about more." In close to 200 books, documentaries and movies—and the highest-grossing film of all time—historians, scientists and Titanic buffs have fervently debated what really caused the biggest passenger ship of her day to sink just two hours and 40 minutes after hitting an iceberg, carrying 1,522 people to their deaths.

Revealing the Titanic's Secrets
Monday 6th October 2008 7:13 PM
TIME
In his book, Titanic's Last Secrets, Brad Matsen tells the story of wreck divers John Chatterton and Richie Kohler and their search for the truth about the Titanic's sinking in 1912. More than just a tragic iceberg crash, the story the divers uncovered is one of bad management, shoddy construction and an ocean liner that sank so quickly that most passengers didn't know what was happening until it was too late. Chatterton and Kohler talk to TIME about deep sea diving, investigating shipwrecks, and the allure of the Titanic.
