253 Pages Indexed. There are five inked-lines gift inscription on the title page. Beyond that is a brand new condition book with interior text pages near flawless. This book presents a collection of little-known facts and stories about this great liner, the people who experienced her, and the tragic events comprising her maiden voyage that ended so dramatically early that morning so long ago. From the time Frederick Fleet, a sailor lookout, saw the iceberg until it passed even with the crow's nest, about 37 seconds had elapsed, enough time for Titanic to travel 1,338 feet. Had Fleet seen the iceberg just five seconds earlier or had Titanic been steaming just two knots slower, the encounter with the iceberg might have been nothing more than a near miss. Titanic's unthinkable demise has fascinated the world since word of her sinking first reached those ashore. Who could have predicted that the world's largest and most luxurious passenger liner -t he jewel of the world's premier steamship company - would proudly set out on her maiden voyage only to strike an iceberg in the middle of the night and sink? Numerous and seemingly insignificant events leading up to that cold April night in 1912 conspired to sink the world's largest ship. The first was a coal fire that burned for two weeks, only to be extinguished just hours before Titanic sank. Other events pushed Titanic four hours behind schedule, which put the great liner in the area of the ice field long after dark, which compounded Captain Smith's earlier command to delay a key turn by thirty minutes to skirt around the ice field. And then there was First Officer Murdoch's split-second decision to reverse the engines just moments before Titanic collided with the iceberg. Ironically, the largest and most luxurious ship ever built did not carry enough lifeboats to accommodate everyone aboard because no one believed the ship could sink.…
