This book takes the reader on two parallel journeys, one with Erickson, the Chief Engineer of the doomed vessel and the other with the Eastland itself, from the moment of its design all the way through the sinking, the trial and with a brief coda about its post-disaster career.
"Ashes Under Water" was a fascinating read.
