Synopsis:

Since the day Titanic passed into history, people have been writing books about the circumstances surrounding the loss of this great ship - who was to blame, who the passengers and crew were, how the ship sank and so on. And yet, little has been written about the great ship herself - the design, structural details and engineering of what is arguably the most famous ship ever built. This first volume manages to assemble a picture of nearly all of Titanic's internal spaces. The authors of this book, Bruce Beveridge, Scott Andrews, Steve Hall, Daniel Klistorner and Art Braunschweiger have earned a reputation in the Titanic community for being staunch and aggressive researchers.

He frequently gives talks and presentations globally and also makes regular appearances in Titanic documentaries.
