The hundredth anniversary of the launching and sinking of the Titanic are next year and I just read a book about it: How to Survive the Titanic by Frances Wilson. My review of the book is on Amazon.
My favorite quote from the book:
“A marvelous achievement, is not necessarily interesting.”
Joseph Conrad writing about steam ships vs sailing ships
My maternal grandfather is an Ismay so I am distantly related to Bruce Ismay who was the builder of the Titanic.
