More about the book

In her brief life the Titanic, at the time of her launch the world’s largest man-made moving object, inspired huge excitement and speculation. Today, 100 years since she sank with the loss of more than 1,500 lives, public interest continues undimmed. This substantial book, long regarded as the definitive book on the subject, has been fully updated in a centenary edition that chronicles the latest chapters in this compelling story. This new edition includes new information about the crew's forced detention for the U.S. Senate investigation, an entirely new chapter detailing recent Titanic expeditions (both authorized and unauthorized), exploration, legal challenges, the ship's artifacts and their exhibitions, significant new Titanic museums, new appendices, the most complete and accurate Titanic passenger list ever published and more than 100 new photographs.
