Download The Sinking of the RMS Titanic: The Tragic Loss of the World's Most Famous Ship AudioBook Free
Just before midnight on Apr 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic, the major ship on the globe, hit an iceberg, starting a chain of events that could finally make it history's most famous, and notorious, ship. In the over 100 years since it sank on its maiden voyage, the Titanic has been the subject of countless fascination, as evidenced by the initiatives to find its final resting location, the museums packed with its items, and the many books, documentaries, and films made about the doomed sea liner. The Titanic was neither the first nor previous big ship to sink, so it's clear that much of its appeal is due to the nature of ship itself. Indeed, the Titanic stands out not just because of its end but also for its beginning, specifically the fact that it was the most luxurious passenger ship ever before built at that time. In addition to the time it had taken to create the look, the giant ship took a complete three years to build, and no work or cost was spared to dress the Titanic in the most luxurious ways. Given that the Titanic was over 100 foot tall, almost 900 foot long, and over 90 foot wide, it's obvious that those who built her and provided all of its famous amenities got a great deal of work to do. The massive ship was hauling thousands of passengers and crew people, each with their own experiences on board, and the various amenities offered among the several classes of passengers ensured that life on some decks of the ship was quite different than life on others. The Sinking of the RMS Titanic chronicles the ship's final time and the tragedy that ensued, detailing what happened. It also documents different passengers' accounts of that fateful night.
