br. La notte tra il 14 e il 15 aprile 1912, durante il quinto giorno del viaggio inaugurale, il Titanic strisciava contro un iceberg con la fiancata destra. Meno di duecento minuti dopo si spezzava e scompariva nell'oceano immobile. In quel momento iniziava il mito del Titanic, "La Nave" che ha sfondato i confini dell'immaginario, simbolo perpetuo della fallibilità della tecnica sostenuta dal delirio di onnipotenza degli uomini. Il gioiello della White Star Line si è inabissato portando con sé circa millecinquecento persone e le loro storie. Una tragedia mondiale, quasi un prologo delle catastrofi che di lì a poco avrebbero travolto il mondo. Una matassa di reticenze e menzogne ha coperto i responsabili della catena implacabile: errori, omissioni, incuria e negligenze che hanno provocato il disastro destinato a essere il manifesto e il simbolo del Novecento. Ogni frammento della vicenda viene ricostruito con un rigore storico inappuntabile e con uno stile incalzante come un romanzo. Del Titanic si sa "quasi" tutto, ma quella che riemerge da queste pagine è "un'altra storia" dove il dio denaro e il potere commerciale sui mari si intrecciano con la miseria e la frenesia dei mass media. E il dolore con l'amore, l'indifferenza, l'eroismo, la viltà. Sulla "Nave" c'erano il passato e il futuro del secolo breve. Una metafora eterna del nostro tempo.

Plus Dr. Ballard reveals the ship's location and lays to rest many of its mysteries. 48-page color insert." ; Ballard has worked at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Falmouth Massachusetts since 1969. He is currently director of the Center for Marine Exploration there. Ballard is perhaps best known to the general public in connection to the luxury liner Titanic. Ballard organized and participated in the expedition that discovered the ship in 1985. More important however is his work in designing underwater survey vehicles and in participating in dives to explore the ocean floor. His work in marine design and engineering in particular has led to a dramatic increase in the scope of deep-sea exploration. In the 1960s Ballard helped develop the Alvin a deep-sea three-man submersible equipped with a remote controlled mechanical arm for collecting specimens from the ocean floor. The device played an important role in mid-ocean studies including exploration of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and dives to the Cayman Trough a 24000-foot-deep gash in the ocean floor south of Cuba. Ballard was part of the Galapagos Hydrothermal Expedition in 1977 which discovered and investigated deep-sea thermal vents spouting mineral-rich water from volcanic cracks in the Earth's crust. In the 1980s Ballard helped develop the Argo-Jason unmanned submersible system the most advanced craft of its kind. Argo is a 16-foot submersible vehicle and Jason is a self-propelled robot tethered to Argo. The search for the Titanic was undertaken as a test of the Argo-Jason system; the success of the expedition demonstrated its capabilities and according to Ballard "ushered in a new era of undersea exploration." ; VG/VG <br/> <br/> New York, N.Y. : Warner Books, 1987 hardcover

1912101977<p>Newspaper folio 12 1/2" x 17" illustrated 8pp. Disbound pages loose some aging and browning very small hole in front page not particularly visible; otherwise about very good. The paper includes coverage of the Titanic disaster including a full back page illustration of the ship hitting the iceberg.

The paper also includes a couple of cartoons and black and white jewelry advertisement.</p>
1912101999Newspaper large folded newsprint sheets some ad illustration 12 pp. Probably removed paper is browned and brittle but mostly intact some small tears and chips at extremities pages partially split at center fold small hole in page of one article with loss of a letter or two paper name label on front page covering a letter or two of the lead Titanic article rubber stamp in upper right corner not affecting text front page indicates 22 pages but there are only 12 with this paper but it appears complete and all the Titanic articles are in these pages. While published about five days after the Titanic disaster this paper is full of articles on the sinking. The lead article provides details on testimony of second officer Lightoller which he gave to the American Congressional inquiry. However there are many articles on the subject and some of which appear to be the start of various Titanic legends and myths. A widowed woman tells how the men of the Titanic were "needlessly sacrificed and how she saw some men dressed as women to get into life boats. While the captain is praised for going down with the ship another article has American Senator Raymond denouncing White Star Managing Director Bruce Ismay who was CEO of the company as a coward he survived by getting into one of the boats and the person who risked lives for speed. Another article praises Col. John Jacob Astor who helped save a boy’s life by getting him on a boat when he was refused by a member of the crew there is also a story of how wireless operator Philips was pulled from the sea but died in a lifeboat. There is also one of the first reports about how first officer William Murdock shot a passenger aand than turned the gun on himself. The rescue by the Carpathia is covered and a strange comment on how some Chinese Coolies survived by hiding under lifeboat seats.
