All Stations! Distress!


I am old enough to have seen the movie Titanic, but had never read about the true events of this one of a kind luxury cruise ship from 1912. The Titanic is famous for having all kinds of wonderful amenities, but never survived its maiden voyage. Late on the night of April 15, 1912, it crashed into an iceberg which cause massive destruction to the vessel.


This book does a great job of taking the reader from its launch through the voyage, the crash, and attempts to rescue the crew members and guests. Unfortunately, being this is a true story, we learn of the loss of life as part of the tragedy.
