What is Titanic : Building the World's Most Famous Ship about?

A fascinating look at the making of the Titanic in vivid, colorful detail When she set sail from Southampton on her doomed maiden voyage on April 10, 1912, theRMS Titanic was the jewel in the crown of the White Star Line. A floating palace weighing nearly 50,000 tons, she was the largest and most technologically advanced moving object in the world. Titanic spent barely five days at sea, but a skilled workforce of thousands had toiled for years--amid long, hard, and often dangerous conditions--building the ship in a remarkable feat of design and engineering. As Anton Gill shows in this lavishly illustrated book, the story of Titanic's construction is also the story of these dedicated men and women. Riveters risked deafness from hammering millions of rivets that held together the enormous steel hull; engineers had the gargantuan task of fitting engines to power the massive liner across the Atlantic at 23 knots; electricians installed state-of-the-art communications systems and enormous steam-driven generators; and carpenters, cabinetmakers, and artisans labored over every last detail of the opulent state rooms. This book--which features numerous archival photographs and illustrations
