This is a beautiful collaboration of photos, illustrations, and words, remembering Titanic and her stories. This special publication by National Geographic magazine is divided into two parts, first detailing the sailing and sinking of the "unsinkable" ship, and second, profiling what remains from the tragedy. The ship's graveyard, with its resting place and study of its passengers' remains, compiled in a noteworthy collection of memories, are suitable for anyone interested in the history of R.M.S. Titanic.

This publication is referenced primarily from previous National Geographic sources. Historical illustrations, photographs, and timelines from previous expeditions are well represented.

An enriching read. I decided to read this book to commemorate the Titanic disaster. I intended to start the book on April 10, the date Titanic set sail on her doomed maiden voyage in 1912, but I instead started reading the day before. I also finished this book two days before April 14, the date on which 109 years ago Titanic struck the iceberg.

I've never completed watching Titanic movie in one siting. It's just too sad for me and I'll feel like a sinking emotional wrack. When I read this magazine, feels like déjà vu all over. However it was very informative, which is why I love it so much. The real life picture of recovered artifacts was very fascinating.

So good, first NatGeo I've ever read cover to cover and this one was absolutely fascinating. Crazy to see how much the world has changed in just 100 years. I knew nothing about Titanic aside from the bits and pieces I remember from the James Cameron movie. Pictures and stories surrounding this ship were all top notch, loved it.

I’ve been on a Titanic binge recently and this edition of the National Geographic has the perfect amount of information for preliminary research. It also gives several recommendations of books for further research into specific topics, which is always very appreciated!

Chockfull of fascinating facts, figures, and photographs of this iconic and tragically star-crossed (no pun intended vis-a-vis the White Star Line) ocean liner.

Very informational, I got a lot of new facts about the Titanic that I didn’t know before.

Incredible read learning what happened to the ship and what and how it was found. Sad that it will eventually disappear with time. But worth the read.

To save? Or salvage?
