A Night to Remember
Overview & Summary
This meticulously researched nonfiction account reconstructs the sinking of the RMS Titanic hour by hour, drawing on survivor testimony to recreate the ship's final night -- the collision with the iceberg, the desperate and unequal scramble for lifeboats, and the stunned aftermath. Walter Lord's 1955 book is considered the definitive early account of the disaster and shaped much of the popular understanding of the Titanic's sinking for decades afterward.
