First published in 1955, this is a nonfiction, minute-by-minute account of the sinking of the Titanic, which details the actions and conversations of passengers and crew based on historical records. It's an excellent account, capturing the atmosphere and emotions of that terrible night. It also details the many failures that cost so many lives and how things changed to prevent a tragedy like this from ever happening again.
