It boasted libraries, palm trees, swimming pools, a 50-phone switchboard and was nearly as tall as the Eiffel Tower. No, she's not a skyscraper, she's the Titanic!

Delve into the human stories of both crew and passengers and the incredible feats of engineering and design involved in her construction. Take a look at events that occurred once the ship was wrecked, from discovering what passengers had tried to take with them to assessing the likelihood of us ever being able to raise the wreck for more study. This guide is a great all-round look at the quirky, scary and amazing facts and stories surrounding the Titanic's conception, construction and maiden voyage.

Fact boxes full of bitesized information, a full glossary and a helpful index make the book fun, informative and easy to use. Black-and-white line drawings bring the text to life to inspire any budding historians, engineers or maritime enthusiasts.
