DESCRIPTION:
MISLEADING TITLE, BIG DISAPPOINTMENT lingjo Macgyver is right on! If you want to know how the ship was built, this is not it. There is much more text and photographs on the net than you will get from this book. It gives the rationale for its construction, lots of biographies regarding its creators, a rehash of its shortened journey to New York, and 12 of its 16o pages telling that it was indeed constructed. You are info. "Fantastic" according to Dee from New York. I purchased this book for my 8 year old grandson who is a fanatic about Titanic. Amazing photos and great information.

Everyone knows how the story of RMS Titanic ended, but few know how it began. Now, for the first time, that remarkable history has been traced back to its start-with the 1907 decision to build her in the first place. Profusely illustrated with blueprints, cross-sections, and haunting archival photographs, this extraordinary record of human endeavor and, ultimately, human fallibility, adds a fascinating new dimension to the story of the world's most famous, fated ship.. From there we go into the shipyard, where 4,000 tradesmen-joiners, fitters, electricians, plumbers, welders, riveters, and more-turned dreams into reality
