Year: 2009 Language: english Author: Logan Marshall (ed.) Genre: Handbook Publisher: Dodo Press Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 203 Description: A Detailed and Accurate Account of the most awful marine disaster in History, constructed from the real facts as obtained from those on board who survived. The RMS Titanic was an Olympic-class passenger liner owned by British shipping company White Star Line and built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, United Kingdom. For her time, she was the largest passenger steamship in the world. On the night of 14 April 1912, during the ship's maiden voyage, Titanic hit an iceberg and sank two hours and forty minutes later, early on 15 April 1912. The sinking resulted in the deaths of 1,517 people, making it one of the most deadly peacetime maritime disasters in history. The high casualty rate was due in part to the fact that, although complying with the regulations of the time, the ship did not carry enough lifeboats for everyone aboard. A disproportionate number of men died due to the women-and-children-first protocol that was followed. The sinking of the Titanic and Great Sea Disasters is an exciting collection of first-hand stories describing the catastrophe of Titanic's maiden voyage as told by its survivors shortly after the ship sank. Originally written and published in 1912, Logan Marshall's book was the first attempt to solve the mystery of the accident and relieve the heartache which it stirred internationally. Marshall narrates the personal stories of Titanic's passengers before, during and after the sinking of the ill-fated ship. This book takes us all back, to understand the emotions of our ancestors from a not-so-comfortable distance.
