Review by Library Journal Review

Recounts the voyage of the doomed R.M.S. Titanic through the eyes of her passengers and crew. First published in 1955 and based on interviews with survivors, Lord's thoroughly researched and precisely written account vividly captures the full story and emotional impact of the tragedy. In the sections that chronicle the catastrophic sinking, he details the heroics, fear, and cowardice that colored the night. In the sections about the ship herself, Lord makes the Titanic come alive once more and relates the major events surrounding her inception and creation. (c) Copyright 2013.
