review 1: As the second half of my own book concerns the Titanic, research demanded I visit several websites and purchase several books to read up on the subject. (Yes I went there!) This book was one of many. As the title indicates, this is a collection of survivors' memoirs. Since the ship's final resting place has now been located, experts have been able to confirm that many are amazingly accurate. Records photographs and a timeline of events combine to make this work one of the definitive records of what actually happened that night, and makes for fascinating reading. Although this tragedy still resonates with us, it seems almost as though recounting the fateful night and reminiscing about loved ones who didn't make it has been cathartic for many survivors painful as those memor... moreies are. Their bravery has helped create a book which stands as a vibrant testimony for all those who sailed aboard the Titanic on her maiden voyage.
review 2: He didn't check his facts very well. That picture of Captain Smith and (supposedly) Titanic's other officers is actually Captain Smith and the officers of another ship he was Captain for, I THINK it was the Olympic. Other than him, there was only one other name that was on both ships, all the other names should have been different. And he claimed none of the children in first or second class died but Helen Lorraine Alison died because her nurse (who had her baby brother Trevor, both survived because she got into a boat with him) got separated from her parents who refused to leave the ship until they found Trevor. I found the part about Helen Alison dying on Encyclopedia Titanica, which he named at least once, so why didn't he know about it? less
