Summary:
April, 1912. The Titanic has scarcely disappeared before plans to find and raise her began. Yet seven decades passed before it was found. Why? And of some three million shipwrecks that litter the ocean floor, why is the world still so fascinated with this one? Stone spins a fascinating tale of history, science, and obsession, uncovering the untold story of the Titanic not as a ship but as a shipwreck. He takes readers through the two miles of ocean water in which the Titanic sank, showing how the ship broke apart and why, and delves into the odd history of our understanding of such depths. He interviews scientists to understand the decades of rust and decomposition that are slowly but surely consuming the ship. And Stone turns inward, looking at his own dark obsession with both the Titanic and shipwrecks in general. - adapted from publisher info
