Sinking of the "Titanic" : most appalling ocean horror


Read by LibriVox Volunteers

The Titanic was thought to be the safest ship to set sail as it embarked on its maiden voyage. Unfortunately, history tells us differently. This is an "eye witness account", cobbled together by the author from statements given by survivors. It is not for the faint of heart. - Summary by LynneT (9 hr 51 min)
