There are photos of the inside of the ship, original ship blueprints, a photo of a ticket used to board the ill-fated vessel, copies of U.S. Navy warnings about icebergs in the area, and even telegrams sent to and from the ship as she sank.<\/p>\n<p>The story is well known, but this book offers a fresh look at the sinking of the largest passenger ship in the heyday of steamship travel \u2013 just five days into its inaugural \u2013 and final \u2013 transatlantic trip that began April 10, 1912. The book begins with a history on competition between the Cunard and White Star shipping companies, which were vying for passenger and mail service between Europe and North America.<\/p>\n<p>This is a new twist on the doomed ship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Titanic, The Story of the Unsinkable Ship By Beau Riffenburgh Andre Deutsch, Carlton Publishing Group Hardcover, 157 pages www.andredeutsch.com This coffee table-sized book goes beyond [&hellip;] <span class=\"read-more-link\"><a class=\"read-more\" href=\"http:\/\/activeseniorsdigest.ca\/wp_activeseniorsdigest\/?p=331\">Read More<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":329,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.4 -
