The Secrets of the Titanic | Paul-Henri Nargeolet
post image
Pickpick

A book about the finding of the wreck of the Titanic in September 1985 & the subsequent expeditions to bring to the surface items such as dining sets, luggage & jewellery. Thousands of items have been recovered & yet so much remains down there & not even the ship's lists give the full picture of the items carried. Rumours have abounded since the beginning about millions of pounds' worth of diamonds & gold being interred in the first class safe.

OutsmartYourShelf There is also the other side of this - treating the wreck with respect due to the loss of life & having those items recovered used in museum exhibitions rather than disappear into private collections.

This was a short yet fascinating look at the expeditions carried out by Paul-Henri Nargeolet. The photographs at the end were very interesting. 2w
OutsmartYourShelf I didn't realise until reading this book that Nargeolet was one of the men killed by the submersible implosion in 2023. This casts a melancholy pall over points of the book when the author is talking excitedly about the trips he has taken & will take including that ill-fated journey. RIP. 4🌟

#TodayILearned that the iceberg the Titanic struck weighed approx 1.5 million tonnes & would have been like hitting concrete hence the damage. 2w
