Description du livre
The loss of the Titanic in 1912 cast a pall over all future voyages, and in the wake of the most famous sinking in history, a number of crucial changes were made, including the requirement that there be enough lifeboats available for every passenger, a change that was codified by the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea in 1914.
That same convention also made a change to the way distress signals were used, and the British subsequently ensured that the bulkheads be raised higher up the boat to truly ensure that the compartments were watertight. Gone were the days that safety would be compromised for the comforts of the First Class. And of course, a bunch of changes were made to the way ships navigated around icebergs.
You’ll discover:
•How the Titanic came to be, from an ambitious idea to build an unsinkable ship, to its construction and launch.
•What life was like aboard the Titanic, beginning with the impressive facilities reserved for the first class passengers and moving down to the humble lodgings in the third class.
•The gripping sequence of events, from the chilling iceberg sighting moment to the ship's tragic sinking.
•The aftermath and enduring legacy of the Titanic disaster, unraveling its profound impact on history and society.
