About this listen
One hundred years ago, the mightiest "unsinkable" ship began her maiden voyage to cross the Atlantic. An engineering feat 11 stories high, the Titanic contained a list of passengers collectively worth $250 million when she left port on April 10, 1912, but she would never reach her destination. The Titanic collided with an iceberg on the night of April 14, and 1,500 people died in the freezing waters as the ship met her watery grave. Spectacular in many ways, it's a story that has spurred legends and still sends shivers down the spine a century later. This minute-by-minute account of the sinking is based on over 20 years of research and offers amazing detail of that fateful night.
Read by Martin Jarvis, it's a riveting account of one of the world's biggest maritime disasters and the behavior of the passengers and crew. Some sacrificed their lives, while others fought like animals for their own survival. Wives beseeched husbands to join them in lifeboats; gentlemen went taut-lipped to their deaths in full evening dress; and hundreds of steerage passengers, trapped below decks, sought help in vain. From the initial distress flares to the struggles of those left adrift for hours in freezing waters, this audiobook brings that moonlit night in 1912 to life for a new generation of listeners.

A titanic triumph
Very clear tale of a tragedy, balanced and clearly written. With a profound social commentary signaling how the Titanic tragedy was also the end of an era. Spooky to hear about the novel written 10 years before!
A Great listen

Fascinating and Poignant.
The narrative has a fantastic blend of matter of fact information, punctuated with hard hitting, personal anecdotes. The descriptions of couples parting ways is really powerful.
Having been written relatively closer in time to the disaster, it has, for me, much more gravitas than everything that has followed, save perhaps for the ships discovery and subsequent images.
Martin Jarvis gives it a fair amount of old school British, which helps with the atmosphere. Some of the accents are slightly dubious, but not laid on too thick.
I listened to this over two sittings. At under six hours, it's a perfect weekend page turner, in so far as an audiobook has pages.

Very moving
I loved this book. It's very well written, read and powerful. It's so moving in parts that I actually cried and other parts made me angry.
Was well worth a listen, it's a really great book and honest too. The RMS Titanic may be a tragic icon but she will always be my ship.

The titanic never looses it intrigues for me. I was so grateful to listen to first hand accounts and to increase my knowledge on the subject. Thank you audible
