Ghosts of the Titanic

"What really happened on that unforgettable April night in 1912?"Even after nearly a century, many facts about the sinking of the "unsinkable" ship, "Titanic," remain a mystery, as potent and perplexing as ever. But now, Dr. Charles Pellegrino — whose "New York Times" bestseller, "Her Name, Titanic," is considered one of the preeminent books on the unparalleled catastrophe — returns to an icy, mile-wide graveyard two and a half miles beneath the surface of the ocean to set free the ghosts that linger among the twisted wreckage. Using surviving first-hand accounts, remarkable new evidence, cutting edge technology and latest oceanic findings, he gives us the most vivid, poignant, shocking, and compelling re-creation yet of the doomed liner's horrific final moments — and offers stunning, never-before-revealed truths about the great, tragic leviathan's history, fate, and breathtaking legacy.
