description About

A fascinating collection of interviews, recollections and documentary information about the fateful maiden voyage of the Titanic, and how it touched people's lives. Investigates the contemporary importance of the story of the Titanic, and the effects it has had on the lives of the many individuals still living. Walter Lord, author of "A night to remember", recalls some 26 stories survivors related to him personally and Eva Hart gives her own account of the events of April 14-15th, 1912. The Titanic tragedy represented, in its own right, the end of an era of arrogance and social discrimination in sea travel.
