About this book
Organized by days of the year, this reference presents detailed information on the HMS
Titanic, from the ship itself to passengers, crew, and survivors.
This volume compiles a wide range of research and remembrances about the Titanic, from newspaper articles and survivor quotes to facts about the ship and the births and deaths of those onboard. Each page is devoted to a single day of the year, offering a unique perspective on the Titanic and its era.
From announcements about the ship's maiden voyage to accounts of the sinking, Titanic: Day by Day allows readers to see how the tragedy unfolded before the eyes of witnesses. It also delves into the British and American inquiries into how this unthinkable disaster happened.
Author Simon Medhurst brings a personal connection to the work. His great-grandfather Robert Hichens, one of the six quartermasters of the Titanic, was at the helm when the ship hit the iceberg. He survived on lifeboat number six. His experience on Titanic is one of hundreds recounted in this book, passengers and crew alike.
