    The book has an illustration of the lobby of the Titanic, I compared it with a real picture and it was extremely similar.

    Titanic was deemed unsinkable because it had 15 watertight bulkheads and a double bottom.

On April 10th 1912, The Titanic set sail for Cherbourg, France and then to Queenstown, Ireland.
