SUMMARY:
On the morning of April 10, 1912, the 914 passengers who boarded the beautiful liner Titanic for her maiden voyage knew they were making history. Never before had an ocean-going ship been so impressive…so luxurious…so “titanic.” Unfortunately, the passengers and crew would learn to their eternal horror that the Titanic was not, as some at the time may have claimed, unsinkable. Their lives – and twentieth-century history – would never be the same again
