Marking the centenary of the Titanic disaster, ` Titanic Lives` is a fresh investigation of the lives of the passengers & crew on board the most famous ship in history. On the night of 14 April 1912, midway through her maiden voyage, the seemingly unsinkable Titanic hit an iceberg, sustaining a 300-feet gash as six compartments were wrenched open to the Atlantic Ocean. In little over two hours, the palatial liner nose-dived to the bottom of the sea. More than 1, 500 people perished in the freezing waters. But who were they? In this impeccably researched & utterly riveting social history, Richard Davenport-Hines brings to life the stories of the men who built & owned the Titanic, the crew who serviced her & the passengers of all classes who sailed on her. We are introduced to this fascinating cast of characters & follow their lives on board the ship through to the supreme dramatic climax of the disaster. Universally critically acclaimed, ` Titanic Lives` is the must-read Titanic book of the centenary year. ...
