New York Times - Titanic Newspaper Book - Gift Details
At 2:20 on the morning of 15th April 1912, the Titanic finally succumbed to the icy Atlantic Ocean, with the loss of 1,517 lives. And yet just four days earlier, among much pomp and circumstance, the ‘unsinkable’ liner had left Southampton for New York on her fateful maiden voyage.
How was it that the largest passenger steamship in the world, designed by top engineers and featuring some of the most advanced technologies and safety features available, could sink within three hours of an iceberg collision?
This enduring question, along with the terrible loss of life, the media interest in her famous victims, the stories of tragedy and heroism, the changes in maritime law and the discovery of the wreck in 1985 have fascinated us ever since. And with scientists now predicting the wreck will finally disintegrate into the ocean’s bed within 50 years, it’s a curiosity that’s never been greater.
So to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the infamous tragedy, GoneDigging has produced a New York Times newspaper book dedicated to the Titanic and its doomed maiden voyage. As you’d expect, the coverage is different to the Daily Mirror version, with reprints of original NYT reports – including survivor accounts – used to create a history of the liner’s life and the collision’s aftermath.
