The Story of the Wreck of the Titanic

Just before midnight on April 15, 1912, the Titanic struck a gigantic iceberg in the icy waters of the North Atlantic, on its way to New York. Within a few short hours the world’s largest ship, supposedly unsinkable, had sunk beneath the waves. Originally published just months after The Wreck and Sinking of the Titanic, this sobering yet sensationalist volume includes a collection of survivors’ accounts, including close escapes and unparalleled acts of heroism.
