New York Times - Titanic Newspaper Book Gift Details
To mark the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we’ve researched and compiled a special edition personalized newspaper book featuring scans of original newspaper articles written about the Titanic at the time; an historic gift for those with an interest in the Titanic.
This fascinating newspaper book opens on April 11th 1912 and gives details on Titanic’s launch from Southampton Docks, England. Famously, “the largest ship in the world” Titanic came dangerously close to colliding with another boat; the wake caused by the liner caused a steamer to break away from the quay and into Titanic’s path.
A scary start to what would become one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history, the book includes news articles and photos from the days immediately after the Titanic sank, as details began to emerge; including the number of people known to have lost their life, passengers who were still missing, and the names of the fortunate few rescued by the Carpathia and bought to New York.
The tragic aftermath is also documented in news articles, including firsthand accounts of the sinking from survivors, articles on anxious friends and relatives seeking news of their loved ones, reports from Titanic memorial services, plus news from the senate inquiry into how the sinking happened.
It is a captivating insight into the history of the Titanic disaster, a tragedy which, over 100 years after its sinking, still touches the hearts of many.
