This is a rather sad review for me to write. My grandmother who was born the day the Titanic sunk (or hit the iceberg) was always fascinated by the Titanic. It meant something to her. I saw this book in a catalog and I ordered it for her for Christmas one year and sent it to her.

Unfortunately, she was ill and the book was too heavy for her. I heard that she looked at the cover and said it looked good, she'd read it someday.

She didn't survive much longer and she never got to read the book.

I ended up getting it back eventually and I read it.

And really, really liked it. I will always keep it as it is not just a good, informative picture book, it reminds me of Grandma. ( )

Era el barco más seguro y lujoso de todos los tiempos: una orgullosa silueta que dominaba las aguas, una mansión flotante, un palacio, casi pensado más para el disfrute que para el viaje. Y, sin embargo, su primera singladura fué también la última. Desde su construcción hasta su naufragio y su posterior localización, la historia más completa del mayor mito, ilustrada con sugerentes dibujos y abundante documentación gráfica, hasta hoy inédita de la época.
