This book commemorates the enduring legacy of the world’s most famous ship – TITANIC.

Her story is one of all those bound together on that fateful voyage. On board were: writers, artists, honeymooners, sportsmen, priests, reverends, fashion designers, aristocrats, millionaires, children, crew and emigrants looking for a better life.

This book tells of their lives, and shines the spotlight on:

  • Some of the great ship’s surprising treasures
  • Her fêted voyage from Belfast’s
    Harland & Wolff shipyard
  • The fascinating museums devoted to her memory, including Titanic Belfast
  • The iconic music and movies
  • Her winged and four-legged passengers
  • The sister ships of Olympic and Britannic
  • Tales of heroism
  • Theories surrounding Titanic’s fatal collision
  • The lifeboats and just how close the SS Californian was on that tragic night
  • How Arctic explorer Ernest Shackleton and the inquiries viewed events

These stories and much more lie inside.

there is much more in this delightful book and it’s not just an ideal book to dip in and out of, it’s also a valuable resource in the Titanic canon and a pleasure to go back to
