This thorough, accessible volume begins with background about "the Golden Age of Ocean Liners." Two-page chapters then discuss building and loading the Titanic, the ship's geography (with a useful foldout diagram), the iceberg strike and its aftermath, victims and survivors, and "superliners" today. Many archival photos along with pictures of recovered artifacts and digital re-creations of shipboard scenes enhance the presentation. Websites. Glos., ind.
