The voices of crew, first class, second class, and third class passengers blend together telling their account of the maiden voyage of the Titanic, and what happen as she went down. In this factual account of the fatal maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic, eyewitness and survivor accounts are woven together to tell a three-dimensional account of the fate of the Titanic and her passengers and crew on the fatal morning of April 15, 1912. The disaster might have been easier to understand if there’d been a fierce storm, with pounding waves and howling winds.

As they shivered in the freezing air, the survivors could barely absorb the tragedy that had transformed their lives.
