Overview of Titanic: Minute by Minute Book

At 2.20am on April 15th 1912, the Titanic was plunging 12,000 feet to the ocean floor. The Titanic had broken into two pieces -- her streamlined bow speeding to the bottom of the sea, her stern sinking slower, breaking up as it went. Machinery, coal, crystal goblets, pianos and jewellery all tumbled through the dark water. It would take an hour for all the remains of the great ship to hit the seabed. Hundreds of passengers and crew were still trapped below decks -- hundreds more were floating on the surface.Titanic: Minute by Minute is the story of the sinking, told in fascinating detail -- the style that made D-Day: Minute by Minute and Hitler's Last Day: Minute by Minute bestsellers. Passenger Marion Wright would always remember how lovely the ship had been when it set out on its voyage, 'except for the smell of new paint'; Bandleader Wallace Hartley's body would be found with his tips from the night before in his pocket; one of the survivors, actress Dorothy Gibson would make a film later that year about the sinking, wearing the same dress; lookout Fred Fleet would end his days as a newspaper seller in Southampton enduring comments such as 'Hello Fred, seen any icebergs lately?' This is the definitive chronology of the Titanic's final hours, where readers will feel as if they are experiencing the event in real time.
