She is the RMS Titanic. From the destiny of the Titanic at the dawn of the Twentieth Century to the tragic sinking of the Andrea Doria, to the loss of the Edmund Fitzgerald and the capsizing of the Eastland in the Chicago River, to the collision of the San Juan off the California coast, this is a tour-de-force of the most famous shipwrecks of North America. With expert analysis from noted historians and enhanced with rare photographs and live footage of the wrecks, the human struggles and the drama entwined with these doomed vessels is examined. The sequences of events leading to the demise of each ship is detailed... the "unsinkable" Titanic on her maiden journey and those aboard her; the Eastland, her victims filling the Chicago River; the luxury liner Andrea Doria ramming the Stockholm off Nantucket; the ore-carrier Edmund Fitzgerald, with her modern technology and engineering yet still no match for wild Lake Superior; and, off the shore of California, the San Juan, sinking in minutes to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. This sixty-minute exploration into the greatest shipwrecks of North America is touching, fascinating and informative. Packed with expert interviews, actual footage and rare photographs, this riveting documentary leaves viewers pondering the implications long after the credits roll. Written by Anonymous See less
