A Review of “Unsinkable” The Full Story of the RMS Titanic In his book “Unsinkable” The Full Story of the RMS Titanic, Daniel A. Butler’s goal was to write an unbiased account of the events of sinking of the Titanic. His story takes the reader through all aspects, from thought to planning, from building to launching, from the iceberg and the sinking of the Titanic to the rescue of the survivors, and to the discovery of the wreckage at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Butler does not place blame, he presents only the facts. The conception of the RMS Titanic occurred in the summer of 1907. The men behind the creation of the Titanic were Joseph Bruce Ismay, the managing director of the White Star Line, and Lord William James Pirrie, senior partner and chairman of the board of Harland and Wolff, a Belfast shipyard. Ismay and Pirrie’s respective businesses had been in partnerships for the last forty years; this relationship would continue for another quarter of a century, continuing after the tragic events surrounding the sinking of the Titanic. Ismay decided that not only one, but three ships were needed. As the men continued their meeting, the sketches became more defined and soon they had outlined the three ships, the Olympic, Titanic, and Gigantic. The three ships were staggered in their construction; they were projected to be ready for service in the spring of 1911, 1912, and 1913 respectively. The dimensions of these “strikingly beautiful” ships were 882.5 feet in length, 98 feet wide, 175 feet high from the keel to the top of their four tall funnels, and a displacement of 45,000 tons; these sister ships would become the largest ships, in every way, in the world. They would have nine decks and accommodate 3,300 passengers and crew members. The bows of the ships were divided into sixteen watertight compartments formed by fifteen watertight bulkheads
