Titanic - 5 Days to Disaster: History Retold

Sunday, April 14, 1912 11:40 p.m.

In less than three hours, the Titanic will sink.

Most passengers have retired to their staterooms after another glorious day on the worldâ€™s most prominent ocean liner. Little did they know, all would soon be lost when the unsinkable RMS Titanic slips under the surface for its final journey to the bottom of the Atlantic.

This is the story of the RMS Titanicâ€™s first, and only ocean cruise. The story is told in a compelling countdown which ends with the survivors disembarking their rescue ship in New York.

The book describes the actions and thoughts of some of the leading players during those final five days including Mr. Hugh Walter McElroyâ€“Purser, William McMaster Murdochâ€“1st Officer, Jack Phillipsâ€“- senior wireless operator, Wallace Hartleyâ€”Bandmaster, Thomas Andrewsâ€”Chief Engineer, and of course the principle characters in this storyâ€¦

Captain Edward Smithâ€“Why did he decide this would be his last voyage? How did he carry himself as he interacted with passengers, management, and crew? Driven by pride and ego, read how Captain Smith is pushed to make the run to New York in record time.

Bruce Ismayâ€“Widely accepted as the person who made the fateful decision to reduce the number of lifeboats. Why litter the deck when the ship herself is a lifeboat? The lifeboat debacle. Only 20 were available, and those could only carry 1178 of the 2200 souls on board.

Daniel & Mary Marvinâ€“Young newlyweds with a promising future. Why did Mary have misgivings? How did Daniel, brave beyond his years, ensure the safety of his beloved?

All would agree the RMS Titanic was a magnificent, awe-inspiring ship. Over 882 feet long, 25 stories high and weighing 46,000 tons, she was the largest moving object ever built. According to the White Starâ€™s own brochure, the Titanic was designed not to sink.

Read about the unbridled enthusiasm as the Titanic departs from Southampton on April 10, 1912, bound for New York with some of the worldâ€™s elite onboard.

Unbeknownst to everyone, a deadly menace was lurking submerged in the water, waiting silently for the oncoming ship.

A new take on one of the most infamous disasters in marine history.

....the clock is ticking and, for the unsinkable Titanic, it cannot be stopped.
