On April 15, 1912, Titanic sank in the North Atlantic taking over

not been the quick actions taken by Capt. Rostron of the Cunarder
Carpathia and, as a result, 705 were saved. The author has written
over a dozen works of history and his latest is the story of that
fateful night plus a complete biography of her career from
construction, her service as an immigrant ship, an early cruise ship to
a trooper in World War One and her sinking from a torpedo on July
17, 1918 off the coast of Ireland. Illustrated. Softcover. 158 pages.
