Titanic: The Story Of The Unsinkable Ship

I really enjoyed it. I could have imagine how it feels while reading it, especially in late nights. I'd encourage you to read this at late nights in a dim light or with a lamp which can give you the real experience. I'd enjoyed it a lot. Thank you 'Hourly history'.

I liked this book. It is very informative and some of the things and facts about Titanic in this book cannot be found on internet. If I had really this book it would be amazing. As I love the stories or subjects related to history, I likes this book.This book relly helped me to write a composition in my English 1 exam during half yearly exminations. If anything would be asked at anywhere related to this topic, i can rewiring e this book and write

Based on Titanic ship

It seemed to me as i started turning the pages of book that it was boring and is useless as it was free . But it was becoming more and more interesting as i started turning more pages it was a very good book based on the titanic ship and her luxurious and good services that made passengers of all classes feel good and that how shewas made and by whom and the population that enters day by day in her . and the acciedent that happens because they that this ice berg looks very small and we woul pass throught it but it could not happenthe ice berg was very large from downside and that accident took thousands of precious souls . and everyone must read this book as it was very nicely written .

I am a Titanic buff and the lore that it inspired interesting. If one hankers more for the many asides strongly recommend reading RESTLESS IN GOD'S ACRE, A NEWFOUNDLAND ODYSSEY

As the title suggests, the book is about RMS Titanic that sank on her maiden voyage. Built along with two other famous vessels named Olympic and Britannic, Titanic was as known as the unsinkable ship. This book talks about a number of rumors encompassed with the disturbing buzz of haunting curses and superstitions. Titanic sank on the early hours of 15th april but its devastation begun on the night of 14th april. However even before it set sail, did you know the ship was responsible for loss of lives ?Reading about Titanic is never easy. It was and still is tragic and gut wrenching. The loss of lives in this tragedy was beyond imagination. The author also stated that sinking of this enormous vessel was not in vain in fact because of this, several disaster prevention rules and regulations came into effect which were helpful in the future voyages.This book was utterly emotional, cataloging the beginning of beautifully epic voyage to the rising panic which ultimately ended with a loss of so many lives.Although there are various movie and tv series adaptations,documentaries are out there, i feel that this book took different approach. Not only there were unknown facts that i didn't even thought existed but it also stated how some of the survivors helped in the future and saw this as a life changing event. I would highly recommend it.

Titanic is not something new to us . We all have watched the movie and have known about the sinking of Titanic. The movie simultaneously revolved around the love story of Jack and Rose which we all cherished. This book is entirely based on only the ship -RMS Titanic. Built along with two other famous vessels named Olympic and Britannic, Titanic was known as the unsinkable ship. This book talks about the numerous rumours, along with the poignant curses and superstitions. Reading about it still, was heart wrenching. The loss of lives was beyond our imaginations. I loved reading about titanic from a different point of view. It is just an amazing overview about Titanic.

The owners of the cruise line, and the financier, were in too much of a hurt to commercially launch the ship. Not enough preparation to train newly hired sailers. Study in greed leading to loss of innocent lives.

Amei o livro, sou apaixonado pela história do titanic

Buen producto

(Hourly History, "Titanic: The Story of the Unsinkable Ship," Kindle Ed., 2016, pp. 5-6)...her completion was delayed when Olympic needed unscheduled repairs. While speculation in history is never rock-solid, it is reasonable to think that had the Titanic been launched on schedule, she may not have hit the iceberg...Regardless, there were some people who believed that this ship, and any ship, should carry more lifeboats – though they were ignored. In addition, the watertight doors were a much-boasted safety feature, which was one of the reasons that the ship (and others like it at the time) was thought to be “unsinkable.” However, the Titanic was actually not equipped with the most up-to-date technology in this respect. Water was able to breach these doors and flood the entire ship. Had the technology to prevent this from happening been employed (some Cunard ships had installed it), it is within the realm of possibility that the ship could have been saved, and more likely that the Carpathia would have reached the Titanic in time to save all of her passengers.I'm not surprised. This is our world today...with the most reasonable voices for the long-term safety and liberty ignored under the customs and profits right before our eyes. People like Ben Franklin or Lee Sunshin must be weeping under the ground.The book is like a report for posterity, and it certainly has some good value trying to remember those who have been forgotten after perishing during the disaster.It introduces some of the irony of the tragic event; the book is intriguing to read while making the readers think and imagine as if we were the ones in that tragic stor'y.The book is ver'y en-/ in-form'at-ive. From the beginning, the book does make the readers think with an "Ah!"The following line is what I like the most about this book:(Kindle Ed., p. 5)...Titanic actually claimed her first victims long before April 1912: eight died during construction, and twenty-eight severe injuries were recorded. More than 240 people were hurt in total.(Ibid., pp. 41-45)...the Carpathia was steaming toward the site of the wreckage. A telegraph operator had awoken Captain Arthur Henry Rostron when he received the distress signal. Rostron, was also a member of the Royal Naval Reserve, immediately ordered a reply and turned his vessel in the Titanic’s direction. The Carpathia was a ship of the Cunard line, which he was sailing from New York back to Europe. However, in such a disaster, with lives at stake, it would not have mattered to any captain what company they worked for; the code that governed seafarers dictated that distress signals always be answered...The Titanic passengers did not die in vain. As a result of the tremendous loss of life, international regulations were passed regarding lifeboats, telegraphs and communication, and ice. All ships would be required to carry enough lifeboats, crew would be trained to use them and evacuate, and passengers would have a drill so that they knew where to go and when in the event of a disaster (which anyone who has taken a cruise is well aware). Also, it was mandated that telegraph machines and later, other forms of communication, be manned 24-hours a day (had someone been at the telegraph machine on the California, they would have confirmed the emergency). Finally, patrols were set up to better survey ice fields and warn vessels about dangerous areas.That's the way for our United Humanity.The book has only a couple of minor errors to be edited boasting its near-complete quality for a first edition:(Kindle Ed., p. 16)...After the crew, third class passengers boarded, for a few of reasons...Correction: ...for a few reasons...(Ibid., p. 36)...the delay cost many their lives...Correction: ...many of their lives...Again, like I've mentioned in my reviews after reading his "Black Death" and "Spanish Flu," I think the author has his expertise in med'ic-al sector, not in hi-stor'y; they sometimes overlap with each other though, like this book.This kind of accident report, especially finding out the causes of the accident to assess the causes of the victims' symptoms or deaths, are their forte, which gives this book more credit and higher value.

This short insight of The Titanic story is well written, and gives an good over view of the mystery surrounding the sinking of this ship. Peace sent to all involved. 🕊

This book has been very interesting and I suggest it to people that want to discover more about the history of Titanic.
