From the Back Cover:

"Titanic"--the second of the Olympic class liners--was not revolutionary in design, but was remarkable for her size. She measured 882 feet 9 inches from stem to stern, her navigating bridge towered 104 feet above the keel, and she could carry more than 3,300 passengers and crew. With a gross tonnage of 46,328 tons, "Titanic" sacrificed speed in favor of size and luxury, space and comfort on the North Atlantic passenger route. "Titanic"'s fifteen watertight bulkheads were said at the time to make the ship "practically unsinkable." But these bulkheads did not extend high enough, and this, along with insufficient lifeboats, proved to be her Achilles' heel. On her maiden voyage across the North Atlantic in 1912, "Titanic" struck an iceberg and sank with heavy loss of life. With an authoritative text supported by more than two hundred illustrations, you can read how this Leviathan of the seas was built, launched, and fitted out, understand the complexities of her massive engine room, and appreciate the lavish passenger accommodation that was the talk of Edwardian Britain. You can also read about the captain's many responsibilities and discover how the chief engineer kept the mighty ship and its systems running. The Haynes "RMS Titanic Manual" offers a rare and fascinating insight into the design, construction, and operation of one of the greatest passenger ships of the twentieth century.
