| Notes: | This is the story of the “unsinkable” Titanic. She was four city blocks long, with the latest, most ingenious safety devices — but only 20 lifeboats for the 2,207 passengers on board. Gliding through a calm sea, the Titanic brushed an iceberg. Two hours and forty minutes later she upended and sank. Only 705 survivors were picked up from her half-filled boats. COMMENTS — Written before the recent upsurge of Titanic nostalgia, Walter Lord gives a concise, fast-paced account. |
