Autor Daniel Allen Butleren Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 mar 2012
Just
before
midnight
on
April
14,
1912,
the
ocean
liner
Titanic
struck
an
iceberg.
Less
than
three
hours
later,
she
lay
at
the
bottom
of
the
Atlantic
Ocean,
having
taken
with
her
more
than
1,500
of
the
roughly
2,200
people
on
board.
Even
now,
a
century
later,
no
other
ship
in
history
has
attracted
so
much
attention,
stirred
up
such
powerful
emotion,
or
accumulated
as
many
legends.“Unsinkable”provides
a
fresh
look
at
theTitanic's
incredible
story.
Following
the
great
ship
from
her
conception
to
her
fateful
collision
to
the
ambitious
attempts
to
salvage
her
right
up
to
the
present
day,
Daniel
Allen
Butler
draws
on
thirty
years
of
research
to
explore
the
tragedy
and
its
aftermath
in
remarkable
depth
and
detail.
The
result
is
a
must-read
for
anyone
interested
in
theTitanic.
