Description

The Titanic: A Photographic History of the Sinking and Its Aftermath. On 14 April 1912, tragedy struck when the largest luxury cruise liner in the world, hailed as 'unsinkable', collided with an iceberg off the coast of Labrador. The massive ship was soon slipping into the cold Atlantic Ocean, claiming the lives of over 1,500 people from its 2,224-strong crew and passenger list. The sinking of the Titanic has captivated the public imagination for generations, not just due to the scale of the tragedy, but also because it represented a complex microcosm of Edwardian society. The ship's tragic fate led to significant changes in maritime safety regulations, while many survivors went on to share their stories with the press. This book celebrates these accounts through 180 authentic photographs. Today, the Titanic wreck has been visited by explorers, scientists and film-makers, and many artifacts have been recovered from the site as the old liner steadily disintegrates.
