: I know it is easier said than done, but shouldn't the knowledge gathered by the regulars of this board be boiled down into a book? A book is certainly a more impressive reference than a simple URL which is quite easy to forget or lose.
: Of course, there would be a lot of problems with copyright issues, finding a publisher, etc. but I fancy that handing over a book about the technical details and the appearance of the ship would be more convincing about the association's intentions and may set certain doubts at rest.
: Obviously, it is difficult to present this knowledge in an easy-to-digest form but cautiously adding a pinch of general Titanic information may help to avoid having too much meat and too little sauce if I may say so. (E.g. a few months ago I was very pleased that Scott Andrews gave me a detailed description about the difficult task of launching a ship. Such bits of information may be of interest for the readers).
: With a small scale version of Robert Hahn's excellent Titanic plans, this book could be a hit.
