Product Description

Product Description

This text, based on a collection of contemporary newspaper cuttings, provides an insight into the sinking of the Titanic and its aftermath. The reports, primarily from the "Daily Sketch" and "The Times", have an immediacy, pathos, and wealth of human interest even more than 80 years after the tragedy. The coverage is from the sinking on the night of 14 April 1912 through to the end of the British inquiry, four months later. It includes 400 Titanic-related photographs and the only surviving photograph of the Tussaud model of the ship's commander - Captain E.J. Smith. This tragedy held the front page of a tabloid for 15 consecutive issues and features tales of romance, heroism, devotion to duty, lucky escapes, hints of cowardice, suggestions of murder, and supreme sacrifice - providing an insight into a past era when Britain had an Empire, suffragettes, and a firm belief in itself.

First Sentence
The Titanic wasn't the first or the last passenger ship to sink, so what was so special about this tragedy that countless books have been written about the events of the night of 14/15 April 1912, films have been produced, societies have been formed, and authentic memorabilia realises astronomical prices at auction? Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Great loss of life, 23 Nov 2006
By Arthur Crown (Heathrow, England) - See all my reviews
Dave Bryceson's (1997) book is the culmination of years of painstaking research and what is, for the author, an enduring fascination for the impact of this great maritime disaster not only upon the lives of those who perished and their relatives, but also the great sense of public participation in the private grief of those affected by it.

Just very occassionally, in more modern times, a great human catastrophe affects a whole nation or group of nations. Not so much because of the number of people killed or injured, but for reasons that are more subtle than that.

'The Titanic Disaster' captures the effect upon ordinary people of this enormous public tragedy, through a collection of press reports, announcements and published photographs which followed the events of 14th and 15th April 1912.

4.0 out of 5 stars Filled with facts, an intresting book!, 30 Jan 2002
As I am intrested in the Titanic and have one other book on the subject. Even though this book does not tell the whole story, it gives you facts and information on the sinking and what happens after that I never knew. An intresting book.

5.0 out of 5 stars You're back in 1912 reading the headlines!! Wonderful!!, 20 Feb 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Titanic disaster - As reported in the British Press April - July 1912 (Hardcover)
This book is great reading, informative and historical. Since the author uses the actual headlines and articles from the newspapers of 1912 you can't help but feel you are traveling through time. The accounts of survivors are heart wrenching and the survivors of those lost, even more so. The inquiries are most interesting and politics never change, do they? I love this book!
