Product Information

Guests can enjoy a rich variety of cultural and entertainment options within a short walking distance. In a way it's perfect; the whole tale is a meta-story because part of the text is about, 'Sure, when you've got it, use it, enjoy your life, but know it will end, be aware of it' - it's almost like a sort of curse. Measuring 16in by 13in (40cm by 35cm), the book was encrusted with 1,050 jewels including specially cut rubies, topazes and emeralds.

The book also takes a look at events that occurred once the ship was wrecked, from discovering what dead passengers had tried to take with them to assessing the likelihood of us ever being able to raise the wreck for more study.People then and since were fascinated with the technical achievement of the Titanic but had this achievement and the arrogance that went with it led man to challenge the immutable laws of nature? Based on the series of events that led up to the sinking, the book goes on to record the experiences of those who survived. The 27-year-old and his parents, who came from the two wealthiest families in Pennsylvania, were among the most prominent passengers on the Titanic. The author weaves first-hand recants with newspaper clips to present a first-hand experience of what it was like being on the Titanic.

The Titanic disaster, in which more than 1,500 people died, is of course one of the most famous events of the 20th Century, yet little is known about what happened to the Omar in its days aboard the ship.Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning we get a small commission if you decide to make a purchase through our links, at no additional cost to you.
