Year: 2012 Language: english Author: Butler D.A. Genre: History Publisher: Da Capo Press ISBN: 0306811103 Format: EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 296 Description: This passionate yet balanced narrative explores every facet of the Titanic's history, including her spectacular conception in an Irish shipyard and the ambitious modern-day attempts to salvage her. The familiar story of the RMS Titanic—from her encounter with an iceberg to her demise some three hours later, taking with her more than fifteen hundred people—still looms large in the popular imagination, and in Daniel Butler's as well. He studied the Titanic's history for thirty years, intensively compiling facts about the disaster and the players involved (from Captain Smith and his crew to the ill-fated third-class passengers). He even made the startling discovery of a nearby ship that ignored the Titanic's distress call because the shipmates were afraid to awaken their captain. Drawn from primary sources and period accounts, this new narrative puts the disaster into historical context and serves as an essential resource for scholars of Titanic lore. Additional info: About the Author Daniel Allen Butler is a veteran of the U.S. Army. Author of The Lusitania, he lives in Atlantic Beach, Florida.
