The "unsinkable” Titanic was four city blocks long, with a French “sidewalk café,” private promenade decks, and the latest, most ingenious safety devices… but only twenty lifeboats for the 2,207 passengers and crew on board.
Gliding through a calm sea, disdainful of all obstacles, the Titanic brushed an iceberg. Two hours and forty minutes later, she upended and sank. Only 705 survivors were picked up from the half-filled boats of “the ship that God Himself couldn’t sink.”
Walter Lord’s classic minute-by-minute re-creation is as vivid now as it was upon first publication more than sixty years ago. From the initial distress flares to the struggles of those left adrift for hours in freezing waters, this audio presentation will bring that moonlit night in 1912 to life for a new generation of readers.

Edited to add that I liked the narrator and felt his sober handling of the subject matter was very appropriate. Also, for those who might worry (as I did) that this would be a grim and depressing book, it really isn't. Though the subject matter is tragic, of course. the matter-of-fact approach combined with the fact that all of the accounts are from those who survived (and not much included about the grief of the survivors as most were still in shock as the book ended) lends itself to a book that acknowledges, but doesn't linger over, the emotional impact of the tragedy. We don't witness people's last moments, for the most part. It's more the death of the ship, a way of life, the end of an Era, rather than the prolonged pathos of individuals lost. I fully expected to be sobbing by the end of the account and was pleasantly surprised to find that I wasn't--the author educates but doesn't seem to be going for the emotional jugular. Perhaps it simply wasn't necessary, as the emotional impact of that night may have still been resounding when this was written decades ago. Perhaps the author simply had a different goal in mind. But it was nice to be able to learn more about the facts of that night without ending up a frazzled sobbing mess. I wish I hadn't put off reading this for so long out of fear that would happen.
A Tour de Force!
