"When I was in middle school I went through a ship/shipwreck phase and this book happened to be in the school library. I found it tragic yet fascinating, so many things could have been done differently and could have brought about a lot of different out comes. It's mind blowing to think of the what ifs."
"A glossy historical glimpse into of some of the world's most famous shipwrecks, this is a shortie, a little taste of the passion of(Titanic) illustrator Ken Marshall with Rick Archbold."
"This book was haunting in that it seemed that all of the disasters could have been avoided. So many lives lost for nothing. But it was very interesting. I had never heard of several of the ships."
"One of my oddball traits: one of my biggest fears is drowning, and yet I am fascinated by the Titanic. It's sinking, its discovery, all of it. So I pulled this from the shelf because Titanic's picture was on the cover. The book proceeded to talk of a few other liners histories as well as the Titanic's. And all liners had been explored by the author of the book. each one was a tragic tale in its own right, and the pictures and drawings were quite haunting. And yet I was still fascinated by it all! I think my favorite thing was the author's last bit about how all of these accidents came about because of mankind's faith and pride in machines instead of in people. In that, I would up it one more by saying faith in God. One reason I have always loved the Titanic story was because to me it looked like an immediate lesson to the people who said that even God could not sink the ship. Never believe that man is more powerful in God--who made man and who helped man build machines."
