Titanic From Rare Historical Reports by Peter Boyd-Smith.

Based on some of the newspaper accounts from April 5th until May 7th 1912, this book offers a vivid insight into the media’s account of the disaster. Through over 250 pages of this outstanding book, you are transported faithfully and accurately back to the dark days immediately following the Titanic’s sinking. The telegraph wires on both sides of the Atlantic buzzed with life as gradually, little by little, the details filtered through into the newspaper offices and were printed for a shocked world hungry for information: a world trying desperately to come to terms with what they were reading. As you turn the pages, the drama unfolds just as it did all those years ago: harrowing tales combine with stories of incredible bravery, courage and valour. Included are 200 photographs, some of which have been previously unpublished.
