It took two years to design and three years to build the Titanic before it sailed on its maiden voyage from Southampton, heading for New York in 1912. Much has been written about its sinking; Green offers a detailed account of its design and construction. It was the most modern ship afloat, with radios, electric lighting, elevators, a gymnasium, and a swimming pool. Green writes that the vessel was built using basic techniques that had changed little since the construction of the first iron-hulled ships more than 50 years earlier, even though the Titanic was 10 times the size of the early ships, and that its safety features were woefully inadequate. Green offers details on such subjects as who built the Titanic, its delayed departure and sea trials, and what was to be its Atlantic crossing. The book, with more than 100 photographs and illustrations, is a meticulous account of the ship's construction. George Cohen
