'This book features biographies of many who died, including Captain
Edward Smith and the bandmaster Wallace Hartley who played as the
ship sank. ...Stephen Barczewski gets under the skin of the story
by telling us what brought them together that night. The result is
chilling, and compelling, and a vital part of he whole Titanic
story.' - Shetland Times, 7 July 2006
‘It is hard to imagine that there is anything original left to
write about Titanic, but, surprisingly, this book...has managed to
approach the story from a new angle.' ~ Ships Monthly
