DESCRIPTION:
Spectacular in many ways, it's a story that has spurred legends and still sends shivers down the spine a century later. Some sacrificed their lives, while others fought like animals for their own survival. Wives beseeched husbands to join them in lifeboats; gentlemen went taut-lipped to their deaths in full evening dress; and hundreds of steerage passengers, trapped below decks, sought help in vain. An engineering feat 11 stories high, the Titanic contained a list of passengers collectively worth $250 million when she left port on April 10, 1912, but she would never reach her destination. Read by Martin Jarvis, it's a riveting account of one of the world's biggest maritime disasters and the behavior of the passengers and crew. The Titanic collided with an iceberg on the night of April 14, and 1,500 people died in the freezing waters as the ship met her watery grave. One hundred years ago
Would highly recommend for the first book to be read about the madbookster THE classic and first authoritative book about the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic. Lord came out with a second book that is more authoritative and clears up some of the mystery and inaccuracies that the first book had. Would highly recommend for the first book to be read about the ship and its tragic end..
