Breaking Titanic: Analysing RMS Titanic's Hull Fracture

This is the first comprehensive study into the problem of the break-up of RMS Titanic's hull, something only recognised as having happened after 1985 when the wreck was positively identified, more than 73 years since the loss of the vessel. Expert author Eugene Nesmeyanov presents a generalised analysis of the currently available data, using both historical data (eyewitness accounts of passengers and crew members from lifeboats as well as from the surface of the water) and underwater archaeology data (photos and video filming of parts of the ship's hull along with mapped debris fields), as well as data obtained using computer simulations. The book includes a critical analysis of the most significant theories and models of the break-up, those put forward by experts and amateurs from 1985 to the present day, and known about from the movies, documentaries, papers and publications, and finishing with the author's own conclusions.
