BOOK
Even though we all know how it ends, the tragic story of the luxury liner Titanic, lost on its maiden voyage, continues to fascinate. In
Titanic: The Last Night of a Small Town, social historian John Welshman looks at the events of April 1912 from the point of view of survivors — including crew as well as passengers from first, second and third classes. He also examines their family backgrounds and reasons for sailing on the ship in the first place, and looks at what happened to them in later life. Unusually for
Titanic accounts, Welshman makes a special effort to include the reminiscences of women.
