Présentation de l'éditeur

There is a haunting aura surrounding the authentic items possessed by those aboard the Titanic on its last night at sea. TITANIC: FORTUNE AND FATE unveils these historic treasures - many of which have never been seen before outside private collections. Multimillionaire John Jacob Astor's gold pocket watch and cuff links; one of three existing Titanic life vests, which kept a man from drowning even as he froze to death in the 28-degree water; and a silk scarf that Madeline Astor gave to third-class passenger Leah Aks to warm her son as they waited for rescue - all are among the poignant reminders of the ship's victims and survivors.
This stunning volume is a companion to the Mariners' Museum acclaimed Titanic exhibition, the images and text powerfully evoking the panorama of human emotions - from pride and anticipation to courage and despair. "The Titanic story will never die," third-class passenger Millvina Dean predicted, and more than eighty years later, the Titanic continues to intrigue us. What we can't forget and what continues to haunt us are the individual stories of her passengers and crew, which in TITANIC FORTUNE AND FATE comes to life through the letters, mementos, and personal effects they left behind.
