This was a really good book. A much slimmer contribution than Eaton and Haas's other book I have, "Titanic: Triumph and Tragedy," but still a good book. Filled with rare photographs of the ship, passengers (including a photo of an aged J. Bruce Ismay I've never seen anywhere else), both beautiful and sad stories, and a brief overview of her discovery and the first couple of explorations, "Titanic: Destination Disaster" has wound up being a great addition to my personal library.
One thing that does somewhat amuse me, considering this book is covering "legends" from the disaster, is the perpetuation of the "3909 04 (NO POPE when read in a mirror)" hull number myth. "Titanic"s actual hull number was 401 (her sister "Olympic" had 400), and her official registration number was 131428. It's interesting how this myth has grown to such proportions that it fools even experienced "Titanic" historians!
Another thing that really caught my attention, and cheered me considerably, was that Eaton and Haas took careful note of the placement of the "Titanic" wreck and the location universally reported by "Californian"s crew, plus agreed with the fact that "Californian" couldn't have been "Titanic"s mystery ship and vice versa, and there was nothing Lord could have done to assist "Titanic." It's a refreshing change of pace from what I see so often parroted in most "Titanic" books that I have otherwise enjoyed.
All in all, a great book and one I highly recommend!
