'Meet the people connected to Titanic in a very personal way. Through a tremendous display of memorabilia items - some of them very personal - you will feel the Titanic disaster as you never have before. A fresh, unique tour de force in the annals of Titanic literature!' - J. KENT LAYTON, co-author of Recreating the TitanicThe basic facts of the Titanic's story are well known: in April 1912 the largest ship in the world, described as 'practically unsinkable', set off on her maiden trip to New York. She would never make it there. Instead she would strike an iceberg just days into her journey and sink to the depths of the North Atlantic Ocean, taking nearly 1,500 people with her. She would remain there undisturbed for seventy-three years.Titanic Collections: Fragments of History is a two-part series showcasing rare and important artefacts relating to the history of RMS Titanic. Many collectors prefer to hide their treasures away, but the items presented in these beautiful books have been gathered by six well-known and respected researchers, authors, historians and collectors who want to share their acquisitions with the world.The People is a tribute to those connected with the ship, whether passengers or crew, through the items they left behind. It goes beyond the five-day voyage that they are forever entwined with to look at their whole lives, using letters, photographs and personal effects to tell their stories and highlight the real human cost of one of the world's most famous tragedies. Each beautifully photographed item brings the story of the Titanic to life, and all come together as a museum for your bookshelf.…
