false 2976552 2 <DIV>Dead men tell no tales. Dead ships, however, do. <P>Over seventy years after the great ocean liner sank, marine geologist Robert Ballard discovered the wreck of the <I>Titanic</I> 12,500 feet beneath the surface of the icy North Atlantic. Now Ballard presents the world with an opportunity to live the story of the famous ship through his amazing last great images, before <I>Titanic</I>&#8217;s remains are gone forever. This is a story told in rusted, twisted metal and debris, but it is also a human story told in a porcelain doll&#8217;s face, an empty shoe, and an abandoned derby hat. <P><I>Titanic: The Last Great Images</I> maps the wreck of the ship from a variety of perspectives to give a completely new picture of the triumph and tragedy that was <I>Titanic</I>. This illustrated volume&#8212;and a National Geographic special&#8212;weave the strands of the ocean liner&#8217;s story together in renderings done by the ship&#8217;s original designers, charts of the debris field, and period illustrations. Robert Ballard provides the clearest, most accurate view of the ship we have ever seen. In crisply detailed underwater photography, disintegrating ruins and shattered pieces reveal pride of workmanship, a rigidly defined class system, and indelible images of terror and courage. This book shows what makes the <I>Titanic</I> worthy of the world&#8217;s undying fascination.</DIV> 3006917 1 9 2008 Titanic: The Last Great Images total:16|5:8|4:3|3:5|2:0|1:0| 16 67 22 5 5 2 false false Sat Sep 13 11:34:32 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 14 07:06:05 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Feb 26 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 10:17:10 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 10:18:17 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 16 10:13:12 -0700 2008 Tue Nov 10 08:35:39 -0800 2009 read this book because I was too afraid of the pictures. Yes, folks, you heard that right: my great fear in life, my only true phobia, is deep, dark water, so seeing pictures of shipwrecks REALLY creeps me out.
