Starting from its original conception and design by the White Star Line through construction at Harland and Wolff's shipyards in Belfast, the author examines the lives of various passengers from the first class aristocrats enjoying all the trappings of privilege, to the families in third-class and steerage and members of the crew as well as representatives from the White Star Line who were present. Finally, the book examines the disaster itself, when Titanic struck the iceberg on 14 April and sunk hours later. Survivors from passengers and crew explain what happened, taking you back in time to the full horror of that freezing Atlantic night when up to 1,520 people perished.
