The story continues with the building of the Titanic, her launch and voyage to Cherbourg and Cóbh (Queenstown), her days at sea, the sinking and the aftermath. There is information about some of the passengers, the technical details, the interior in the different classes etc.
The book contains a lot of pictures, and these really fascinated me because there were many that I had never seen before, a lot of them from the author's own collection. Some of those pictures actually gave me goosebumps because I felt like getting closer to the Titanic than ever before.
I am happy that I finally read this book and I learned many new aspects, although it would have been worth it for the pictures alone. ( )
