The Complete Titanic
by Stephen J. Spignesi


Review by: Corey Ann

This book is one of the best information sources on Titanic that I have found. In this book you can follow a detailed timeline following Titanic from 1850-2002, read the transcriptions from the U.S. and British hearings, Register Transcript, menus, inventories, a detailed report of the lifeboats, who left with them, and at what times from where, a Titanic Who's Who, read accounts from survivors, read insurance claims, as well as much, MUCH more. Also included in this book are some fantastic pictures from the ship, as well as memorabilia about the ship, and the movies.

The most facinating part of this book, in my opinion, was the novella "Futility." Not in print nowadays, this novella is quite hard to find. Written in 1898, this book tells a tale of a ship, Titanic, that strikes an iceberg and sinks. What is quite amazing is the fact that so many of the story's points ring true about Titanic. A MUST read for any Titanic enthusiast!

Another facinating point in this book is the small stories to find throughout. From "The Rarest Titanic Collectable in Existance?" to "Were Shots Fired," you will be reading through the night.

I recommend this book to just about anyone... Once finished you will feel the bitter cold of the night, and the sorrow of losing your loved ones. This book is not one to miss!
