Book Description 

On the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's sinking, a prominent Titanic researcher offers a final chance to see the ship before it disappears forever

The Titanic was the biggest, most luxurious passenger ship the world had ever seen; the ads proclaimed it to be unsinkable. When it sank in April 1912 after hitting an iceberg, killing more than 1,500 people, the world was forever changed and the public has been spellbound ever since. Now, a century later, the Titanic is about to disappear again: its infrastructure is set to collapse in the next few years. In this book, scientist Charles Pellegrino offers what may be the last opportunity to see the ship before it is lost to the seas for eternity. The last book to be written while survivors were still alive and able to contribute details, Farewell, Titanic includes many untold stories about the sinking and exploration of the unsinkable ship.

•     Author Charles Pellegrino provided source material for James Cameron's Oscar-winning Titanic film, which is being re-released in 3D at the same time as the book
•     Includes 16 pages of never-before-published full-color photographs of the sunken vessel
•     Includes all-new information about the Titanic research that has been carried out in the last decade

    Written by a New York Times bestselling author who participated in the post-discovery analysis of the Titanic's remains during the expedition that immediately followed Robert Ballard's Titanic discovery in 1985

From the Back Cover

Praise for Charles Pellegrino

Farewell, Titanic
"Pellegrino has completed his twenty-five-year journey of Titanic exploration with this deeply detailed book that looks the horror and chaos of that disaster square in the eye, with human insights not previously brought to light. Pellegrino really is the king of connect-the-dots."
—James Cameron, Academy Award-winning director of Titanic

"Charles Pellegrino's aptly named book is packed with untold stories. There is much to admire here, and Pellegrino is just the man to document what may indeed be the Titanic's final chapter."
—Bill Schutt, American Museum of Natural History, author of Dark Banquet

Ghosts of the Titanic
"Charles Pellegrino has raised the Titanic—at least in my imagination."
—Stephen King

"Very moving. Like Her Name, Titanic, Ghosts of the Titanic often brought tears to my eyes."
—Sir Arthur C. Clarke, author of 2001: A Space Odyssey

Her Name, Titanic
"Like walking through a Stanley Kubrick film . . . it is impossible to pull off this sort of thing without knowing the facts, and Charlie Pellegrino knows his Titanic inside and out."
—Walter Lord, author of A Night to Remember
