This is a very useful source for anyone who wants to read the actual accounts of the Titanic survivors, but doesn't know where to find them. Here, everything is collected in one book, along with some interesting newspapers articles. Yes, some things are repeated, but I liked the different points of views and sometimes versions on display

Worth its weight for the newspaper sources alone

skigirl1689's review against another edition

I read most of the book, but it was very repetitive and more of a collection of historical accounts. It was nothing special, and the book was very disorganized. I do not recommend this book unless you really don't mind reading hundreds of first-hand accounts.

A harrowing book detailing the tragedy of the Titanic. Repetitive throughout and I did find myself skipping large chunks. However, the lifeboat stories were fascinating and my heart went out to all on board the doomed ship. We all know the Titanic story thanks to countless films etc but this gave a little more insight into what actually happened that night.
