Product Description
RMS Titanic was the ship that could not be sunk, but on that fateful night the impossible happened, shaking to the core the rich and powerful of Britain and the United States, complacent in their belief that nature herself could be tamed. On the south coast of England, the port of Southampton was thrown into a state of shock as it learned of the loss of hundreds of crew members who came from the town.
'Titanic Voices' takes you back to that time, reliving those momentous events through first hand accounts of those who were actually there. Using many previously unpublished photographs, letters and oral histories, the book traces how the town of Southampton, its people and the Titanic have been inextricably linked from even before the ship was built, up to the present day.
The accompanying DVD in the back of the book contains authentic voices of passengers and crew members, as well as local people recalling their memories of that fateful event. It also contains still images and rare archive film footage of the Titanic and Olympic.
