Ever since the "unsinkable"Titanicwent to its grave over eighty years ago, hundreds of books, movies, and even a Broadway musical have tried to re-create the tragic night, sometimes with little regard for the historical record. Now, with the publication ofTitanic: The Official Story, the voice of history at last speak to us from across the decades. This unusual box contains reproductions of eighteen documents that look and feel remarkably like the originals in London's famed Public Records Office. It includes a copy of the original deck plans from the archives of the shipbuilders Harland and Wolff; theTitanic'sfinal, desperate telegrams; an eyewitness account by one of the survivors; certificates issued by the Board of Trade prior to the ship's maiden voyage; findings of the Parliament and Senate investigations; and thirteen other remarkable records that will make history unfold in your hands.
