"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, this is CQD. We have hit an iceberg. Come immediately,” followed by the coordinates in the North Atlantic and the call signs “MGY”. The call signs of the transatlantic liner "TITANIC" ... The largest and most advanced ship of its time, supposedly flawless, supposedly unsinkable, a clear symbol of the new technological era and the entire Western civilization, sank on the very first voyage, claiming more than one and a half thousand lives. The Titanic tragedy shocked the whole world, becoming a landmark event of the XNUMXth century, which continues to be debated 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 came out 14 years before the Titanic disaster and accurately predicted the future tragedy (and did not coincide). 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!). This famous book has been translated into Russian for the first time - especially for this edition.
