The Titanic was heralded as an unsinkable ship, yet as any good historian knows—this most certainly wasn’t the way things turned out. This book explores not only the sinking of the Titanic, but the lead-up to its construction, and its voyages, and covers all of the key players involved. Here you will find first-hand anecdotes of what it was like to evacuate the Titanic. You will hear harrowing tales of survival and grief.
This text then goes on to examine how the aftermath of dealing with this loss was handled. Congressional hearings were held, and inquests were made, leading to direct changes as it pertains to international law. It’s safe to say that the world was never quite the same after the maritime disaster of the sinking of the Titanic. And this book gives a full reckoning of why this is the case.
This short-read book is a perfect introduction to the Titanic’s story from the start of construction to its tragic end and to finding the shipwreck at the bottom of the ocean. After reading this one-hour history book, you will know how and why it happened, and all the sorrow it caused and still haunts us even today
