Resources:
I have utilized information from the following sources in writing this site. I am still awaiting my copy of Bullock's biography of Andrews, but these have kept me busy for now!

Butler, Daniel Allen. "Unsinkable": the Full Story of RMS Titanic. Stackpole Books, 1998.
I've only had time to read the bits about Andrews (which are quite helpful indeed!), but the book appears to be very thorough. It covers the ship from building to discovery of the wreck, includes three appendixes, a glossary, bibliography, and helpful end notes. I hope to get to it soon!

Hind, Phil. Encyclopedia Titanica. http://www.rmplc.co.uk/eduweb/sites/phind
Very highly recommended--possibly the best of the Titanic websites. Absolutely exhaustive research that has been wonderfully organized. Bravo, Phil!

Liverpool University. Cunard Archives.
http://www.liv.ac.uk/~archives/cunard
White Star was incorporated into Cunard Lines in 1934. The site contains information about both lines and their ships that can be found in the University archive department.

Lord, Walter. A Night to Remember. Avon Books, 1958.
Lord, Walter. The Night Lives On. Avon Books, 1987.
A Night to Remember is the classic Titanic book. If you read nothing else, read this one. Lord returned to the subject shortly after the discovery with his same clarity and insight and created a very nice companion volume with the new information that had become available.

Pellegrino, Charles. Her Name Titanic. Avon Books, 1988.
Though Pellegrino's book has been criticized for the license it occassionally takes in putting thoughts into people's heads, I personally loved it and might go so far as to call it brilliant. He intermixes the recounting of the sinking and the discovery, often pointing out the reliance on technology that was necessary to find Titanic. There are interviews with many people involved with Ballard and it also goes into Ballard's background and even the space program--it makes sense, really. Andrews is also a big focus of this book and I absolutely recommend it to anyone interested in him. You will love it!

If there is any curiousity as to where any information comes from, just e-mail me and I will be happy to let you know where I found it!

Acknowledgements:
Just a couple quick notes here. First of all I want to thank Christine Ehren and Cynthia Lopiano for being there to feed the silliness that eventually brought this page into being, and for putting up with me once I turned serious. I'd just like to point out that I have only seen the Titanic musical once. So there!

Christine has also provided me with many of the scans and snappies on the site. "Ta very much!" Don't know where I'd have found the "A Night to Remember" images if it weren't for her favorite toy!

Cynthia, has helped out in the photo department as well as with scanning. Not that it was a HUGE hardship or anything...

Finally, the background was picked up at Imagine Version 1.0 and the banners were generated at The Banner Generator.
