Very few people are as informed about Titanic as Eugene Nesmeyanov. In this book, he offers his detailed assessment of just how Titanic transitioned from a floating ship to a shipwreck scattered on the ocean floor. I found it compelling and fascinating and recommend it as one who has with submersibles and robots explored that scattered wreckage. -- James P. Delgado Eugene Nesmayenov has performed a unique, valuable service by collating and comparing the ever-growing body of facts, hypotheses, findings, inconsistencies and fallacies from more than a century of survivor accounts, official inquiries and multiple expeditions to the wreck. Breaking Titanic is a thoughtful analysis by this expert author, and a detailed portrait of where our knowledge stands in understanding Titanics history, present status and likely future. -- Charles A. Haas
