About this listen
One hundred years ago, the mightiest "unsinkable" ship began her maiden voyage to cross the Atlantic. An engineering feat 11 stories high, the Titanic contained a list of passengers collectively worth $250 million when she left port on April 10, 1912, but she would never reach her destination. The Titanic collided with an iceberg on the night of April 14, and 1,500 people died in the freezing waters as the ship met her watery grave. Spectacular in many ways, it's a story that has spurred legends and still sends shivers down the spine a century later. This minute-by-minute account of the sinking is based on over 20 years of research and offers amazing detail of that fateful night.
Read by Martin Jarvis, it's a riveting account of one of the world's biggest maritime disasters and the behavior of the passengers and crew. Some sacrificed their lives, while others fought like animals for their own survival. Wives beseeched husbands to join them in lifeboats; gentlemen went taut-lipped to their deaths in full evening dress; and hundreds of steerage passengers, trapped below decks, sought help in vain. From the initial distress flares to the struggles of those left adrift for hours in freezing waters, this audiobook brings that moonlit night in 1912 to life for a new generation of listeners.

Brilliant
A fantastic look back at far more than a sinking ship, but even more a snaphot of a different time, where class, race, cowardice and bravery are all brought into focus. Martin Jarvis narrated this so well.

GREAT!
I absolutely loved the book, I highly recommend it. I've been a Titanic fan since I was 6, now I'm 10. Walter Lord really studied the Titanic. He goes right into the centre of everything!
BTW, survivers wrote some of the book!

History brought to life.
I enjoyed the narration of the story. The tragedy was brought to life by the human history being portrayed close to the historical facts. It was a great book.

Fascinating read
If you enjoy historical tales with lots of interesting asides you will feel that your investment was a good one.
Martin Jarvis, the narrator, brings to life this fascinating tale in a very enjoyable and very English way.
He tells a story in a very understated manner and you don’t get lots of silly voices, but you very much get the character of the person who is describing a particular moment.
All in all a great historical tale told by a professional narrator.

Amazing book, tells the story as it was.
The story of the Titanic without the fluff of the Moive 'Ttianic'. The coverage of the survivors in the life boats and the rescue ships are a welcome addition to the usual journey of the Titanic we are exposed to.
