Answers to Your Questions About the Titanic is packed with all of
the intriguing details and fascinating facts that tell the true
story. It puts myths to rest and confirms the truth. Was the
Titanic really unsinkable? Were third-class passengers locked down
below? Were there enough lifeboats? Was there a Jack Dawson? Did
the Heart of the Ocean diamond really exist? Was there a murderer
aboard the ship? It tells of the small tragedies for some
survivors. Deceased violinist Jock Hume’s family received a bill
for five shillings and fourpence (£40 today) for the cost of his
uniform. A baby was kidnapped on board the rescue ship, the
Carpathia, by a woman who had lost her child. Jack Thayer, who
never got over the death of his son in the water, took his own life
thirty years after the sinking. Illustrated with dozens of accurate
paintings, diagrams and rare photographs, the book’s special
features include the making of James Cameron’s movie Titanic, a
true-or-false quiz and the real-life stories of the young people
who sailed on the fateful voyage. 882½ Amazing Answers to Your
Questions About the Titanic is a must-have purchase for all Titanic
enthusiasts.
