THE EPIC STORY OF THE TITANIC, IN THE WORDS OF THOSE WHO DESIGNED HER, BUILD HER, SAILED HER, AND SURVIVED HER
On April 15, 1912, the RMS Titanic sank, killing 1,517 people and leaving the rest clinging to debris in the frozen waters of the North Atlantic awaiting rescue. Lost Voices from the Titanic offers tales of incredible folly and unimaginable courage - the aspirations of the owners, the efforts of the crew, and of course, the eyewitness accounts from those lucky enough to survive.
Here, historian Nick Barratt tells the ship's full story, starting from its original conception and design by owners and naval architects at the White Star Line to the boards of inquiry that were held after the sinking.
In narrating the definitive history of the famous ship, Barratt drws from never-before-seen archive material and eyewitness accounts by participants at every stage of the Titanic's life. These long-lost voices bring new life to those heartbreabing moments on the fateful Sunday night when families were torn apart and the legend of the Titanic was cemented in our collective imagination.
