I've read many books on the Titanic but never one quite like "Ghosts of the Titanic". Dr Charles Pellegrini's magnificent book had me spellbound from the very first chapter as the author presents the events of the night of April 14th/15th 1912 in a totally fresh and compelling manner.Be warned: This book grips the reader like a steel trap!In "Ghosts of the Titanic" you will learn of:
The very first victims of the Titanic's collision with the iceberg.
The steward who set a new world record for the high dive.
How Major Peuchen's wallet came to be lying where it was in Titanic's debris field and the importance of finding the wallet.
Why Thomas Andrews, Titanic's designer, stayed on board the stricken liner and made no attempt to leave the ship.
What damage the iceberg inflicted on the Titanic and then what Titanic did to the iceberg.
The words whispered by Captain Smith when he saw the flooded mail room.
How close the iceberg was to Titanic when it was first sighted.
Where the California really was in relation to the Titanic.
The meaning of the very last message transmitted from Titanic's radio room.
This list is only a portion of the startling revelations to be found in this book.
There have been many fine books written on the Titanic distaster. In this writers humble opinion "Ghosts of the Titanic" is the best, the winner in a photo-finish from the excellent works of Walter Lord. A "must read" for any lover of history and science and an "absolute must read" for those fascinated by the Titanic disaster.
