Yes, I was the one in the theater who cried out 'Oh no!' when it became apparent that Jack was not going to survive in "Titanic". So, having been a Titanic fanatic for years, I was very interested to read this book. And it did not disappoint! The facts are not only numerous but also very interesting. To see that the vast majority of those that lost their lives were the third class men and the engineers on the boat is not surprising due to the class divisions of those days, but also very sad.To know the names of many of the crew members, their ages and their fate that night helps to make the whole event more real. The follies of that night including not slowing down, no binoculars in the crow's nest, not enough lifeboats, etc. made for a dramatic and tragic story and one that will never be forgotten.This book helps to keep the memories alive of all those who survived and sadly did not survive the Titanic.
