Fly over the actual bow of the sunken Titanic (570k mpg)There are numerous Titanic web sites and I do not intend to reiterate the same information. What I do intend to bring to the Titanic enthusiast is information that I find missing from the other sites or information that is not easily obtainable by the general public.
I have an item of interest which is not readily available and intend to share it with you via this web site. It is an original copy of a book about the Titanic disaster as told by the survivors at the time and published within a few months of the disaster in 1912.
. .the book is scanned and is the actual book itself. I have broken the book into the chapters for ease of reading and downloading.
On Sunday evening April 14,1912 at 11:40 p.m. the Royal Mail Ship (or Royal Mail Steamer) RMS. Titanic came in contact with an iceberg which eventually caused the ship to sink around
2:20 am on Monday, April 15,1912.
