A century after the most famous shipwreck in history, mysteries, controversies, and arguments still surround the tragedy. The Rough Guide to the Titanic tells the full compelling story of the supposedly unsinkable liner. At its heart lies the epic human drama of the Titanic's final hours, between striking the iceberg and disappearing beneath the freezing Atlantic waters.
The book reveals the rich cast of characters: the heroes, villains, and victims aboard the Titanic, and the underwater adventurers who rediscovered it in 1985. It looks back to the stories of those people who, with their faith in progress and technology, built the Titanic, and forward to the tragedy's aftermath. It covers all the conspiracy theories that have raged since the ship's sinking, and examines how the various books, music, and movies have kept its memory alive.
Taking into account both North American and British perspectives, this is a unequally full account of the Titanic phenomenon that separates fact from fantasy and explores its incredible hold on the popular imagination
