Editor´s letter

What is it about Titanic? Bigger ships and more lives have been lost in other disasters. Titanic was a ´floating city´ in its day but today´s ocean liners (p34) make it look like a local ferry. In fact the Costa Concordia was bigger. Yet in the century since Morse operators sent the signal on our cover (p32), the story of what happened that night in April has been retold over and over again, the wreck explored, salvaged, filmed and now about to go online for everyone to see (p28).
