An important book written contemporaneously with the actual event. Poignant and understated but undeniably carrying the import and impact of 1,503 souls silenced and what faced the 700 odd survivors. Rich and poor drowned alongside each other or sat "cheek by jowl" next to each other in the lifeboats. Not only was this book the first written about that cold Mid-Atlantic night in April, it is one of the best without fictionalized details padding the story for dramatic effect or fleshing out the story.
