Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of The Downstairs Girl comes the richly imagined story of Valora and Jamie Luck, twin British-Chinese acrobats traveling aboard the Titanic on its ill-fated maiden voyage. Valora Luck has two things: a ticket for the biggest and most luxurious ocean liner in the world, and a dream of leaving England behind and making a life for herself as a circus performer in New York. Much to her surprise though, she's turned away at the gangway; apparently, Chinese aren't allowed into America. But Val has to get on that ship. Her twin brother Jamie, who has spent two long years at sea, is there, as is an influential circus owner, whom Val hopes to audition for. Thankfully, there's not much a trained acrobat like Val can't overcome when she puts her mind to it. As a stowaway, Val should keep her head down and stay out of sight. But the clock is ticking and she has just seven days as the ship makes its way across the Atlantic to find Jamie, perform for the circus owner, and convince him to help get them both into America. Then one night the unthinkable happens, and suddenly Val's dreams of a new life are crushed under the weight of the only thing that matters: survival.

Download or read book Titanic Survivor written by Violet Jessop and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012-04-04 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violet Jessop's life is an inspiring story of survival. Born in 1887 in Argentina, the eldest child of Irish immigrants, at the age of 21 she became the breadwinner for her widowed mother and five siblings when she commenced a career as a stewardess and nurse on some of the most famous ocean going vessels of the day. Throughout her 40 year time at sea she survived an unbelievable series of events including the sinking of the TITANIC. “One awful moment of empty, misty blackness enveloped us in its loneliness, then an unforgettable, agonizing cry went up from 1500 despairing throats, a long wail and then silence and our tiny craft tossing about at the mercy of the ice field.” For most people one sinking would be enough. But four years later Violet, now a nurse with the British Red Cross, was on board the World War I hospital ship BRITANNIC when it struck a mine and sank to the bottom of the Aegean. To her, this disaster was even more horrifying-- “Just as life seeming nothing but a whirling, choking ache, I rose to the light of day, my nose barely above the little lapping waves. I opened my eyes on an indescribable scene of slaughter, which made me shut them again to keep it out." By the end of her story we have a met a woman who could handle whatever life threw at her with determination and good humor. She knew that only by her own strength of character would she survive. But Titanic Survivor is much more. A unique autobiography for those who want to know how it really felt, a story that could be told only by a Titanic Survivor.

Download or read book On Board RMS Titanic written by George Behe and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It would make the stones cry to hear those on board shrieking' - Daniel Buckley, third-class passenger For the first time, in this moving new book, Titanic's passengers and crewmen are permitted to tell the story of that lamentable disaster entirely in their own words. Included are letters, postcards, diary entries and memoirs that were written before, during and immediately after the maiden voyage itself. Many of the pre-sailing documents were composed by people who later lost their lives in the sinking and represent the last communications that these people ever had with their friends and loved ones at home. The subsequent letters and postcards give an unparalleled description of the events that occurred during the five days that Titanic was at sea, and the correspondence by survivors after the tragedy describes the horror of the disaster itself and the heartbreak they experienced at the loss of those they loved. This poignant compilation, by Titanic expert George Behe, also contains brief biographies of the passengers and crewmen, victims, as well as survivors, who wrote the documents in question.

Download or read book Titanic on Trial written by Nic Compton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capturing the disbelief, the chaos and the terror of the fateful night the Titanic sank 100 years ago, Titanic on Trial brings to life the tragedy through the voices of those who survived it. Stories about the sinking have become legendary - how the band played to the end, how lifeboats were lowered half-empty - but amongst the films, novels and academic arguments, only those who were there can separate truth from fiction. This book gives the story back to those people. After the sinking, inquiries into the loss of 1,517 lives were held in both the UK and US. The 1,000 or more pages of transcripts represent the most thorough and complete account of the sinking, told in the voices of those who were there. For the first time, these transcripts of the courtroom questions and answers have been specially edited and arranged chronologically, uncovering and drawing out the real drama of the Titanic's final night. The witnesses are transformed into characters in a much bigger story, and the events are described from the perspectives of people in every part of the ship, from a stoker in the boiler room escaping just before the watertight doors sealed behind him, to first class passengers trying to buy their way onto lifeboats. This compelling book provides a unique insight into what really happened on the night, and the terrible, courageous, cowardly and tragic choices individuals had to make.
Download or read book Guide to the Crew of Titanic written by Günter Bäbler and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2017-04-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about Titanic, the British passenger liner that sank on her maiden voyage after a collision with an iceberg in 1912; however, until now little mention has been made about the intricate world of the ship's complement, which comprised more than the total of third-class passengers alone. Titanic researcher Günter Bäbler examines in detail the working structure of the crew, including the complex arrangement of the engineering department and information on tips, salaries and hidden bonuses, while each of the 899 crew members on board is mentioned. This valuable study breathes life into the forgotten but significant story of the ship and its relationship to its crew, of whom over 75 per cent died when Titanic sank.

Download or read book Something s Alive on the Titanic written by Robert J. Serling and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-06-16 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They say that 'curiosity killed the cat' and that 'greed damns your soul', and seldom have these sayings been more terrifyingly true than in one of the greatest horror stories of our times, Robert J. Serling's bestselling 'Something's Alive on the Titanic'. Ten years before the official discovery, in 1985, of the Titanic in its watery grave by Dr. Robert Ballard, a code-breaker, Derek Montague, fixes on a reference in the Titanic's manifest to 'Sovereign Metals Ltd. - 34 cases nails, screws and bolts'. Montague knows that Sovereign Metals' operations centered on smuggling and what they usually smuggled was gold. So, in his mind at least, the Titanic was probably carrying 34 cases of gold bullion when it went down in 1912 - 34 cases that are still lying there for the taking by the first people smart enough and brave enough to retrieve them from a probable depth of a daunting 12,000 feet under the sea. And so an expedition is launched with mixed motives - to be the first people to discover the Titanic and understand what really happened on that fateful voyage, and to be the only people to profit from the shadowy riches that were buried with her. And so, with reverence to the actual findings of Dr. Robert Ballard's expedition and the language and attitudes of the times, this heroic, ghostly and tragic tale begins ....
