Overview
Explore the Captivating History of the Titanic When thinking about the worst known maritime disaster in history, it is impossible not to think about all of the lives lost in a single night. One of the wealthiest men alive (and the wealthiest passenger aboard the ship) died in the same accident that took the life of a baby younger than 5 months old in steerage. The rules that were meant to govern an accident were not familiar to the crew. Coupled with an inadequate number of lifeboats for the number of passengers, there was no chance that every passenger on the ship would survive its impact with an iceberg in the middle of the night. More than 100 years after the disaster, the survivors have passed on, but they left behind harrowing stories that remind us that every day is something to appreciate. These stories include love, loss, hope, failure, and everything in between. It is the tales told by those who survived that convey the feelings of that fateful night and the reality of the lives lost. In Titanic: A Captivating Guide to the History of the Unsinkable Ship RMS Titanic, Including Survivor Stories and a Real Romance Story, you will discover topics such as
- A Predictable, Preventable Disaster
