Book excerpt: Titanic was the greatest ship of its era. It was a testament to wealth and showed the extent of mankind's creativity and intelligence, but suddenly, on 14th April 1912, it struck an iceberg and sank, leaving 1500 people in the icy Atlantic water to die. Titanic: A Tribute To Man's Arrogance, shows the attitudes of the public towards technology at the time, and specifically Titanic, before, during, and after the catastrophic disaster, and the lessons mankind learnt that fateful night and the consequences of their arrogance.Amy Smith has a personal connection to the Titanic disaster as she is the great, great niece of a man that died that night amongst hundreds of others. It has inspired her to write books on the lessons learnt from the man-made disaster, and how we will continue to remember those that perished that tragic night.
