Summary: My favorite of my 59 title Titanic library!
Review: This book is the newest of my 59 title Titanic library. It had me absolutely glued to every word and I even had to take notes and tell my husband about the events as I read along. I am currently doing research for an article for, and am a mamber of the Titanic Historical Society. I have been reading and visting every museum and web site I can for the past three years. This book is the most interesting I have read so far. I would say that this is one of the most essential books one must have for their Titanic library! Charles Pelligrino truely knows how to blend perfectly, the threads of scientific ,archiological, historical, and humanistic truth of this puzzling and sad event. He tells of his intuitive thoughts and experiences, and backs each up with facts from Walter Lords research, eyewhitness accounts, scientific information from his diving to the wreck site,retrieval of artifats and mapping the debris field. He gives you every layer possible to this very complex story, from the rusticles that live on Titanic today,to the proof of looting on board that fateful night, to the unthinkible possibility that maybe some survivors were left behind on an ice flow. Truely an enthralling read!! Thank you Charles! Tami Agnello Stickney

Summary: Incredibly interesting.
Review: This book was terrific. I read it all in one day. I really liked the way the author(s) wove in stories of the people on the Titanic with the scientific analysis. And the science was fascinating. Not so technical that non-scientists couldn't understand or enjoy it, but detailed and supported with enough evidence so that it explains very well much of what happened that night. This book touches on biology, microbiology, physics, mathematics, psychology, politics, and more. A very engrossing read.
