Ghosts of the Abyss: A Journey Into The Heart of the Titanic

Rating:
Summary: The Best from the Best
Review: While it seems there is no end to the TITANIC franchise, James Cameron's breathtaking 3D documentary/recreation and this companion book are definitely among the "Must-See's." His expedition, enhanced by Ken Marschall's always perfect art work and Don Lynch's sensitive observations and extensive knowledge combine to enlighten/inspire even the most casual TITANIC student or enthusiast. Their obvious love and dedication for the subject matter shines through on every page. The publishers are also to be commended for the fine job of assembling this lovely book. While there may be less and less to see of the TITANIC with every passing year, it's apparent that her lessons and legacy will go on forever.

Summary: Beautiful book, wish they'd put the movie out on video
Review: While not a very big book at just 143 pages this is one of the nicer Titanic books I've seen. Dedicated to both those who died during the sinking and those who died September 11, 2001 (while the film project was underway)the fist chapter gives a quick but detailed history of the Titanic folowed by several chapters devoted to the crew's exploration and filming of the shipwreck and it's aftermath.
I really liked the photos of the wreck as it is now, especially when compared with similar period photos, and the computer graphic reconstructions were amazing. Many of the photographs seemed very familiar, I was surprised to see so many of things that had somehow survive breaking and kind o depressed to see the signs of collapse that the wreck is now going through.
I sure wish I could've seen the movie, hope it comes out on video soon and I'd like to see much more work of this type doen before it's too late.
