Great read...hard to put down!

Initially expected deck plans and more technical information, but the "To the Reader" (page ix) helped set up the focus of the story onto the major historical events of the life of this 1902 built (page 214) liner. Not only concentrating on the Titanic rescue, but also the final military destruction of the liner in 1918. This 2017 book also has an "Afterword" section which includes the verified locating of the sunk wreck in 2000. Very well written and fun to read!
