Titanic

By: Rupert Matthews

Narrated by: Gabrielle Glaister

The sinking of the Titanic on her maiden voyage in 1912 is one of the most dramatic stories in maritime history. The largest passenger steamship in the world, fitted with more advanced safety features than any of her rivals, she was proclaimed to be virtually unsinkable. Just how and why the Titanic foundered on such a beautiful April evening is the subject of this fascinating book. Author Rupert Matthews explores the evidence behind the stories of heroism and cowardice related by survivors, and investigates the many theories surrounding the great ship's tragic loss.

Matter of Fact

Having a family member deceased on the Titanic, it was nice to hear the facts. It covers everything; well done.

Quite a few historical inaccuracies,

For having been written in 2012, this version of the sinking of the Titanic shouldn't have included so many errors, and the author definitely has a pro-British prejudice. He gave Captain Lord a pass, dumped all over Senator Smith, and candy-coated Lord Mersey's conclusions. Many books on the subject are much superior.
