| Synopsis | |
| * That sinking feeling! * One of the world 's great stories * Published on 92nd anniversary of disaster In a night of unforgettable tragedy, the Titanic, theworld 's largest liner on its maiden voyage, struck aniceberg in the North Atlantic at 11.40 p.m.on 14April 1912 and sank at 2.20 a.m.the followingmorning.Over 1500 people died.Whose fault it was, and how the passengers and crew reacted, has beena subject of dispute ever since the first news of thedisaster broke.Titanic: A Night Remembered, as well the story of theship and its only voyage, is an account of ten ofthose who died: among them Titanic 's captainEdward Smith and builder Thomas Andrews, JohnJacob Astor, the richest man on board, and thebandmaster, William Hartley, who played as the shipsank.Stephanie Barczewski traces their lives andcareers and what brought all of them together onthat fatal night.Many of those who died were treatedas heroes (in contrast to men such,as J.Bruce Ismayand Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon, who used theirinfluence to get places in lifeboats).How these menand women were remembered in both Britain andAmerica says much about contemporary values ofmanhood, heroism, chivalry and national pride.Titanic: A Night Remembered also sets the Titanic inthe context of three ports: Belfast, where it was built; Southampton, which lost 600 citizens as membersof its crew; and Queenstown in Ireland, its last portof call. | |
