On February 11; 1907; the steamship Larchmont collided with the schooner Harry Knowlton. Thrown from their bunks; passengers of the Larchmont panicked and ran onto the ships deck. Haphazardly loaded lifeboats set out only partially full; and shrieks from those left behind were heard in the distance. Nearly 150 passengers were lost that night. The men and women of Block Island courageously aided those in need and dealt with the horrors that washed ashore. Controversy swirled around the conduct of the captain and crew of the Larchmont as investigators tried to determine who was responsible for the collision. Authors Joseph and Janice Soares chronicle one of the greatest disasters in New Englands waters.

Five StarsBy Alan BenningtonStandard reference.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great bookBy SanksThis is an amazing book it helped me a lot with amazing examples illustrated in the book. It opens up a new set of concepts of design as the book illustrates perspectives from multiple design fields. I think the book integrates the multiple design disciplines together which is essential. The book is amazingly written with attention to detail. It teaches us interwoven and open ended ideas are more successful and mature. It is a must read for designers. I only wish the author could put forward more examples from various countries rather than sticking to US and European designers. There are a lot of great things going on beyond these countries.Nevertheless it is an amazing read and will be a great learning experience.
