1.What Really Sank the Titanic: New Forensic DiscoveriesWhat Really Sank the Titanic: New Forensic Discoveries
from Citadel
Price: $15.61

Customer Review:
really good metallurgy and science-- i enjoyed reading the trail of discovery and how the old ships were built-- but this is not a book for the tragedy of the titanic crowd-- very little melodrama or tragedy! highly recommended for readers of science or marine naval tech.

Style wise, this is the opposite of The Sailmaker's Apprentice by Marino. This is not a book to pick up while sitting by the fire sipping tea. It is a great reference book with concise "how to" information. I have a friend who told me that there is nothing beyand repair on a fiberglass boat. After... more info

As a degreed aerospace engineer, I've used the formula's in this book to easily calculate the scantlings for aluminum hulls from 14' to 30' in length, without exhaustive structural calculations or the need for finite element analysis software.
