A Night to Remember

Martin Jarvis reads Walter Lord's definitive account of the sinking of the Titanic, compiled from his own interviews with eyewitnesses Eleven storeys high, a sixth of a mile long and a list of passengers collectively worth 250 million dollars...On the 10th April 1912 the 'unsinkable' Titanic left Southampton on her maiden voyage to New York.

At 11.40pm on the 14th April, the Titanic collided with an iceberg and was lost. 1,500 people died in the freezing sea. Legends and stories grew and even now the whole affair still sends shivers down the spine. First published in 1956 and born of 20 years' research, this account of the voyage and its aftermath is a classic of detailed investigation.
