Other than Titanic, there is very little here about the White Star Line at all. The chapter on the sinking is adequate, but there is nothing new here. There are about eight pages on the Titanic in the book.

Story of the sinking of the White Star Line luxury liner Oceanic in 1914 and the salvage operation some 60 years later by the author and his partner Alec Crawford. The ship had sunk in shallow waters, but in an area of wild tidal shifts, and was considered unsalvageable until the author and his partner proved otherwise.

Not a book for the anti-salvage minded individual, although it might help to know the ship was literally torn to pieces after it sank and as such was just a massive pile of debree on the ocean floor.

McCluskie, Tom. Anatomy of the Titanic. 1st printing. San Diego: Thunder Bay Press. 1998. hardcover. isbn: 1571451609. scarcity: hard to find.

This is an account of the design and construction of the great liner rather than yet another history of the sinking. The book is a detailed anatomy of everything from the a la carte restaurant to the watertight doors. It is a page by page tour of the ship. The book is profusely photo illustrated, mostly of Olympic since so few photos of Titanic ever had a chance to be taken.The text is somewhat dry, but the information on the ship is substantial.

According to people who are very involved with the ship’s specifications, however, there are a lot of errors in the captions for the photos. Apparently many items are misidentified, so reader beware.

A fascinating look at the early designs of ships built by Harland and Wolff, which, as we all know, also built the Titanic. We did all know that right? Sure we did. For students of shipbuilding in the mid to late 1800s, as well as those interested in the development of the passenger liner from its earliest days, this book is a treasure trove. Plus it is a beautiful book, a work of art unto itself. These are actual working drawings, but beautifully rendered.The only downside is that the amount of useful information about each design is quite limited, no more than a few short paragraphs on each.

I am not at all sure how much Titanic content, if any, there is in this book. It was published by AuthorHouse, which seems to be one of those vanity publishers. The author introduces himself as Master of the Apocalypse, and goes on for about 10 paragraphs describing his book with a great deal of grandiose comments, but giving very few details of what the book is actually about.

This chapter analyzes the sinking from a financial standpoint and also provides new insights into the financial situation of Titanic’s parent company International Mercantile Marine.

Asks the rivetting question of which was more massive, the Titanic or James Cameron’s ego. Don’t know the answer, but the inference is that nothing as insignificant as a 500,000 pound iceberg would have slowed Cameron down much. Okay, okay, actually the book is not about that at all. Well, not exactly.

Besides, Cameron’s dedication to the story, and commitment to his film are of equal size. This book traces the depth of his zeal to bring his vision to life. No matter what you think of Jack and Rose, Cameron’s film is the most accurate, the most awesome, representation of the Titanic tragedy to ever see celluloid.

Parker, E.W. Real Adventure Again. London: Longmans, Green & Co. 1937. hardcover. edited by W.T. Hutchins. A volume in the Heritage of Literature Series, Section A, No. 21. isbn: none. scarcity: very scarce.

A book by this author was published by the same company in 1934 with the title Real Adventure. It is listed as the Heritage of Literature Series, Section A, No. 1. Real Adventure Again is listed as No. 21 in the series, so I assume it is a second volume of additional adventures. But it is possible the 1937 book is merely an expanded or updated version of the 1934 edition.

In any event, Real Adventure Again contains a series of 12 short stories about real life adventures. Included are chapters on whaling and on Captain Scott’s expedition to name a few. It also includes a 19 page excerpt of Titanic related material from Charles Lightoller’s autobiography Titanic and Other Ships.
