Average Customer Review: based on 2 reviews. Amazon.com The Titanic, that enormous luxury ship that sank on her maiden voyage in April 1912, has for many decades fascinated people all over the world. Now, as movies and musicals are telling new stories about the vessel, curiosity about the Titanic is piquing again. This unusual collection of documents is not a "book" in the classic sense, but a set of facsimiles of papers related to the disaster that have been lovingly reproduced from the archives of the public record office in London. You will find the deck plans to the ship, a passenger's account of his escape, a certificate written a month before the disaster stating that there were only enough lifeboats to save a third of the passengers, the Titanic's final telegram, and commentary and editorials written shortly after the ship's sinking. All are made to look as much like the originals as possible. Titanic: The Official Story provides a unique view into an important event of the 20th century; as you thumb through the papers in this box, you'll feel a chapter of history coming to life in your hands. Product Description: Ever since the "unsinkable" Titanic went to its grave over eighty years ago, hundreds of books, movies, and even a Broadway musical have tried to re-create the tragic night, sometimes with little regard for the historical record.
