Description
A Night to Remember is a detailed and gripping account of the Titanic's ill-fated maiden voyage and its tragic sinking. In 1912, the world's largest passenger ship, touted as "unsinkable", collided with an iceberg, resulting in the loss of over 1,500 lives.
This book, first published in 1955, is a meticulously researched investigation into the events leading up to the disaster and its aftermath. With a new foreword by Julian Fellowes, A Night to Remember provides a vivid and deeply personal portrayal of the Titanic's story, shedding light on the social and economic divisions that contributed to the tragedy.
With a wealth of new information and insights, this re-issue of Walter Lord's classic work offers a fresh perspective on one of the most infamous maritime disasters in history.
