Titanic. The most famous ship in history

"CQD" ("Come Quickly Danger") - this maritime distress signal sounded just after midnight on April 15, 1912. And again, "CQD." And again, and again, in morse code, "Oh, my God, it's CQD. We've hit an iceberg. Come immediately," followed by North Atlantic coordinates and the call sign MGY. The call signs of the transatlantic liner TITANIC ... The largest and most perfect ship of its time, supposedly flawless, supposedly unsinkable, a visual symbol of the new technological era and the entire Western civilization, went down in the first voyage, taking more than one and a half thousand lives. The tragedy of the "Titanic" shook the whole world, becoming a landmark event of the XX century, about which continue to argue to this day.
This book gives a complete picture of the legendary liner, now resting at a depth of almost four kilometers, and its tragic fate. A colossal amount of information, hundreds of exclusive drawings and photographs! Of particular interest is the publication of key fragments of Morgan Robertson's novel "The Wreck of the Titan: Or, Futility", which was published 14 years before the Titanic disaster and accurately predicted the future tragedy (and not only the circumstances of the shipwreck and the names of the ships, but even their main technical characteristics and the main reason for the large number of victims coincided!). This famous book has been translated into Russian for the first time - especially for this edition.
