As the centenary of the sinking of the Titanic approaches (15 April 2012), Haynes is publishing three books to commemorate the fateful voyage that holds such a prominent place in history.
 
Titanic – The unfolding story as told by the Daily Mirror (published 6 Oct 2011) is a new title offering a unique insight into the tragic, yet endlessly fascinating disaster.
 
Based on the Daily Mirror’s own coverage at the time, the book chronicles everything from the commissioning and construction of the world’s largest moving man-made object, to her maiden voyage and ultimate demise. The use of contemporary newspaper copy and images gives the book an extraordinary level of detail along with a strong sense of the shock and emotion as the story emerged day by day. The aftermath of the disaster, including the very public enquiries on both sides of the Atlantic, are also covered in detail.
 
Titanic: Triumph and Tragedy (published 3 November 2011) by John P. Eaton and Charles A. Haas has long been regarded as the definitive book on the subject. It has been fully updated in a centenary edition that chronicles the latest chapters in this compelling story, including dives to the wreck, dramatic courtroom conflicts and more than 30 new photographs. The book is encyclopaedic in its scope and rich in detail.
 
Both this title and Titanic: Destination Destination Disaster (published 6 October 2011), by the same authors, are the first to detail the 2010 Titanic research expedition. Destination Disaster is an enthralling paperback summarising the whole Titanic story, from building and launching, the glory days and dramatic sinking, to the discovery of the wreck. The book has been fully updated in a centenary edition.

All three titles are available from all good bookshops and direct from Haynes at www.haynes.co.uk or call 01963 442030
