RMS Titanic: The Wider Story

Description

While much has been written about the Titanic disaster and its victims, the tragedy sent repercussions around the world. Here Patrick Mylon explores many of the lesser-known aspects of Titanic’s legacy, telling the story around the disaster. Using rare and often previously unpublished images from his collection of White Star memorabilia, he puts emphasis on the vessels, events, and locations Titanic encountered, was affected by and influenced in her short life. From strike-bound ships at Southampton, via those vessels that sent her ice warnings on that fateful night, through to the rescue vessels Carpathia and others, special trains, company advertising, newspaper reports, memorials, and even sheet music, this history provides a visual record of the disaster from a new perspective.
