Containing a range of full colour and black and white reproductions of documents held in the Public Record Office and general arrangement drawings produced by Harland and Wolff, this pack captures the history of the "Titanic", from its registration as an emigrant ship in Liverpool to the controversy which was still surrounding its sinking during the 1930s. With a fully illustrated introduction and detailed description of each docuemnt, the pack reveals both the glamour and the spectacle of the "Marine Ritz" and the sense of disbelief and outrage which followed its demise.
