Story of the Titanic As Told by Its Survivors
by Jack Winocour
This invaluable book collects some of the first-published first-person accounts of the tragedy,
described in old-fashioned prose and enhanced by photographs and illustrations redolent of
Edwardian society, with captions such as "Ladies and gentlemen in riding habit exercised on
mechanical horses and camels in the ship's gymnasium." Some of the social attitudes of the day are
preserved to often startling effect: the habits of obedience of "the Teutonic race" are repeatedly
praised, and one brave Titanic officer used what the book's introduction terms "the strange ethical
algebra which decided that one female, travelling first class, deserved life some six times as much as
one male, travelling third class." Yet it's just such period detail that makes this book so
compelling--not to mention the vivid sense that the passengers just didn't get it, even while disaster
was upon them. "To illustrate further how little danger was apprehended," writes survivor Lawrence
Beesley, "when it was discovered ... that the forward lower deck was covered with small ice,
snowballing matches were arranged for the following morning.... The cries of drowning people after
the Titanic gave the final plunge were a thunderbolt to us."

Down With the Old Canoe : A Cultural History of the Titanic Disaster
by Steven Biel
The largest movable object ever constructed by man when it was launched, the supposedly
unsinkable Titanic has inspired novels, songs, poetry, movies, and even a mysterious black stoker
named Shine who never existed on the actual ship. Steven Biel traces all these avatars and explores
the social and cultural myths that the disaster gave rise to--and destroyed. The recent attempts to
raise the Titanic's wreckage have demonstrated that the myths have not lost their power.

Maiden Voyage
by Cynthia Bass
In the 84 years since it sank in the north Atlantic, the Titanic has become a powerful symbol of
19th-century hubris and a generator of multiple myths. Cynthia Bass adds to the store of legends
with this engaging tale of a young passenger who, in surviving the disaster in which some 1,500 of his
shipmates perished, discovers something steely and enduring in himself. Bass' latest book, with the
excitement of a good thriller and the depth of fine history, should find a harbor with Titanic buffs and
non-buffs alike.
A Night to Remember
by Walter Lord
James Cameron's 1997 Titanic movie is a smash hit, but Walter Lord's 1955 classic remains in
some ways unsurpassed. Lord interviewed scores of Titanic passengers, fashioning a gripping
you-are-there account of the ship's sinking that you can read in half the time it takes to see the film.
The book boasts many perfect movie moments not found in Cameron's film. When the ship hits the
berg, passengers see "tiny splinters of ice in the air, fine as dust, that give off myriads of bright colors
whenever caught in the glow of the deck lights." Survivors saw dawn reflected off other icebergs in a
rainbow of shades, depending on their angle toward the sun: pink, mauve, white, deep blue--a
landscape so eerie, a little boy tells his mom, "Oh, Muddie, look at the beautiful North Pole with no
Santa Claus on it."
Secrets of the Titanic
by National Geographic
This video from "National Geographic" is a superb documentary on the "unsinkable" TITANIC. This
is from the late 80's, broadcast not too long after Ballard and his crew located TITANIC. If you're
collecting videos or books on TITANIC, this is a "must have". The new release contains a few
minutes of never-released footage and it also includes an interview with Bob Ballard. All in all, its a
great item to have.
