I loved this book. When I was in Ireland, I visited Cobh (pronounced cove), the harbor at Cork where the Titanic made its last stop before its Atlantic crossing and of course its demise. It was an amazing feeling standing there looking over the harbor imaging the Titanic birthed there before being guided out of port to open seas. I tried to imagine the hustle and bustle of the Irish folk to get a glimpse. Such a majestic ship with such a tragic end.Reading the book, I was transported back to my visit of Cobh with those imaginations. The author has done a great job of describing the splendor of the ship as well as the details of its sinking and loss of life. It is well illustrated and ends with some interesting Titanic facts.This gets my thumbs up - well documented, beautifully illustrated. Definitely a recommended purchase!
