Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
With the same methodology used by forensic scientists in crime scene investigations, researchers Jennifer Hooper McCarty and Tim Foecke applied new tools to the century-old mystery. By analysing how the ship was designed and constructed, what vulnerabilities were overlooked and how this marvel of modern engineering may have been a disaster waiting to happen, they build a compelling new scenario with shattering impact. Also illustrated with fascinating period photographs mixed with modern scientific investigation.
Applies cutting-edge forensic technology to the mystery of why the Titanic sank, analyzing how the ship was designed and constructed, discussing its vulnerabilities, and exploring the events of the night it sank.
