Report into the SS Titanic |
| Synopsis: |
Samuel Halpern has written many books and articles on Titanic and often used the 1912 wreck report as a source of reference.

In this book we have the answer. Sam has gathered a team of experts of write the ultimate Titanic reference book, with all the benefits of hindsight.
