Synopsis

Author Peter Boyd-Smith, an acclaimed international authority on the Titanic has brought together in print for the first time since 1912, the riveting media accounts of the most famous shipping disaster in history, based on the newspaper accounts from April 5th to May 7th of 1912. An incredibly high quality, well-researched book of 244 pages, it has over 200 photographs and illustrations, many unpublished before and pictures of items taken from the ship in 1912. Boyd-Smith is co-author of "Life on the Liners" and "A History of Southampton in Picture Postcards" & has contributed to many publications including "Atlantic Queens" a definitive history of the great Cunard Ships. He appears on many TV and radio shows. The author took great pains to find new material and subsequently this book is not a rehash of the many others out there. Boyd-Smith took over a decade to assemble accounts from relatives of survivors, crew members and collectors who have shared their stories and memorabilia with him. He has made sure that the photos and illustrations are of the highest of quality and this results in a book that is truly superb. A must have book for those who study the history of the Titanic and very hard to find due to the small printing only published in Great Britain by Steamship Publications.
