ISBN: 9781405386999.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust before midnight on 14 April 1912, the worlds largest ship collided with an iceberg. For almost three hours, the Titanic stood poised between life and death.\nThe myth-busting new Rough Guide to the Titanic explores every aspect of the most famous shipwreck in history, from the birth of the mighty ship in Belfast to her tragic end far out on the icy Atlantic.\nDrawing on all the latest research; expertly written with Rough Guides trademark passion and enthusiasm; illustrated with photos, maps, and diagrams; and tackling every controversy and conspiracy theory, its the ultimate guide to what really happened on that freezing moonless night.\nLively, accessible sections answer all the great questions:\nWhy has the disaster remained prominent in popular memory for an entire century?\nDid the band really play Nearer My God To Thee as the ship went down?\nWho fired the gunshots as the lifeboats were loading?\nWere the third-class passengers locked below decks, unable to escape?\nWas Captain Smith to blame for the disaster?\nIf the Titanic was unsinkable, why did she never complete her maiden voyage?\nBesides a minute-by-minute account of the struggle for survival of the passengers and crew, from John Jacob Astor and Molly Brown on the upper decks to the emigrants and stokers far below, the book also describes the dramatic re-discovery of the wreck in 1985.\nFrom the earliest newsreel to James Camerons blockbuster, it reviews the best and the worst of the movies, music and books that have kept the memory of the Titanic alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rough Guides","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45113298714677,"sku":"ByrdShop_1405386991","price":60.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781405386999_1f822375-84c2-4162-aa07-396c80618168.jpg?v=1776449532","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-rough-guide-to-the-titanic-9781405386999","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
