This is an excellent minute-by-minute account of the sinking of the RMS Titanic on April 14 & 15, 1912. The story is told through numerous interviews with passengers and crew members who survived. There were even interviews with the crew of the Carpathia, the ship that picked up the survivors who were waiting in the 28 lifeboats. This story tells us of many acts of heroism by the passengers and crew. There were also some conflicting accounts of what happened in the ship's final hours.

I've always found stories of the Titanic fascinating so when I saw this book offered at Audible, I wanted to listen to it. This is a classic story originally published in 1955. The audio is narrated by Martin Jarvis who does an excellent job. My rating: 5 Stars.
