Discovering Titanic's remains / by Goldish, Meish.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.After the Titanic sank in 1912, many schemes were proposed to lift the great ship from its watery grave.

Ship of dreams / by Alward, Donna Jone,author.;
Aboard the Titanic, where opulence knows no bounds and the horizon seems limitless, two women fight for the futures they dream of, fraught with secrets that could change everything. Hannah Martin is clinging to the hope that six days on this grand ship will heal the wounds in her marriage to Charles. Beneath her poised exterior lies a desperation to mend what was shattered and conceal a secret that could upend their lives forever. Louisa Phillips, spirited and uncompromising, is escaping her family's insistence on a passionless marriage. But this daring step could also sever the deepest bond in her life. As the 'unsinkable' ship strikes the iceberg, amidst the chaos and icy waters, lives are changed forever.

Ready to come about : a memoir / by Williams, Sue,1956 October 26-author.;
"Three hundred nautical miles from shore, I'm cold and sick and afraid. I pray for reprieve. I long for solid ground. And I can't help but ask myself, What the hell was I thinking? When Sue Williams set sail for the North Atlantic, it wasn't a mid-life crisis. She had no affinity for the sea. And she didn't have an adventure-seeking bone in her body. In the wake of a perfect storm of personal events, it suddenly became clear: her sons were adults now; they needed freedom to figure things out for themselves; she had to get out of their way. And it was now or never for her husband, David, to realize his dream to cross an ocean, so she'd go too. Ready to Come About is the story of a mother's improbable adventure on the high seas and her profound journey within, through which she grew to believe that there is no gift more precious than the liberty to chart one's own course, and that risk is a good thing ... sometimes, at least."-- Provided by publisher.
