"Fascinating!" according to A.L. Whitaker. I cannot read enough about the Titanic. This gave specific examples of first hand accounts from first, second, and third class passengers as well as Titanic staff that survived. I was able to envision what it must have been like through the vivid descriptions given. It is also interesting how different and then how similar the stories are. Tragic and stories with reading!. bchittenden said Titanic. Very interesting book, easy to read, very good pictures. A must read for Titanic fans. Would recommend it to anyone. "Titanic Review" according to Lori May. This book is one for the collectors of Titanic!!!

I am still so saddened so many people died because there were not enough lifeboats and the ones that they had were not filled to capacity!!! Such a tragic ending for some that could have been prevented!!!!
