Second Edition, Hardcover (released July 2025)

An easy way to spot the difference between the two books is on the rear dustjacket cover. The second edition has "Praise for Titanic Legacy" at the top, while the first edition does not. Also, on the dedication and copyright page (page 4) the second edition has "Apponted GPSR EU representative" details at the bottom. Not all the errors in the above first edition list were submitted in time for the second printing, so some remain on the list below.
