Thanks so much Sam for these words - really appreciated!
Needless to say, your findings on the subject are also mentioned and referred to in the text!

If there is progress on this project, I'll get in touch with you, if you don't mind

@Eugene Nesmeyanov is this the same as your book "Breaking Titanic: Analysing RMS Titanic's Hull Fracture" due to be released on 13th March 2025 and available for pre-order on Amazon? I've ordered it.

[Arun Vajpey]

I think it is the same book, with a foreword by Robert F Roddy. If things remain stable with the family situation in Bangalore, I should be back in the UK a week before this book is released and am definitely going to get it.

 

[Luca Gelmetti]

I will surely order it when it is published. I am very interested.

 

[Eugene Nesmeyanov]

Thank you Richard, Arun and Luca for your interest in this book and for returning to this thread!

While "Breaking Titanic..." is formally a translation, I prefer to consider it an updated and supplemented edition. It is really improved in many ways (from correcting minor typos to adding new sections and illustrations). The text volume has been increased by 20,000 words compared to the original version.

 

[Arun Vajpey]

Большое спасибо. Я обязательно куплю книгу.

Thanks Arun! Including for your language skills

 

[Arun Vajpey]

Thanks Eugene, but I confess that my "language skills" outside English are courtesy of Uncle Google!

Way cool! I know this man. One of the top naval architects in the country. I met him in person at the Las Vagas and Pigeon Forge conferences.

For my part, I can describe Bob Roddy as one of the most intelligent, competent and kind-hearted people I have ever met in my life (pity that not offline)!
The volume of his help over the last couple of years was truly enormous! (However, this doesn't mean that he completely agrees with absolutely everything I wrote in the book...)

I don't expect he would. Nobody completely agrees with each other on any of this, and things change.

You know where my Facebook page is and I put up the presentation Bob Roddy and Bill Garzke gave at the 2023 Conference in Las Vagas as well as the revised one he gave at the 2024 Conference in Pigeon Forge. The latter had a few surprises.

 

[Eugene Nesmeyanov]

Absolutely, Michael!
There are always surprises in such a complex topic as the break-up.

I do have his 2024 presentation, thank you!

Иногда многие могут расходиться во мнениях, но, на мой взгляд, интересно увидеть разные точки зрения или теории по этому важному событию.

Very well said, Luca!
(Although I try to avoid using Cyrillic in the pages of this book...)

Nevertheless, all the major break-up theories are covered in it - hope I haven't forgotten anything!
