More DescriptionFrom the ear-jarring clamor of its construction to the chaotic and heart-wrenching aftermath of its calamitous end, this sympathetic account of the Titanic story vividly brings the tragedy to life. With a fifteen page historical survey that provides insightful and interesting commentary in the form of obscure and little-known facts, as well as multi-dimensional biographies of the three key-players in the tragedy: J.
