Perils of the Atlantic : Steamship Disasters, 1850 to the Present

This collection of 23 stories of disaster and adventure covers well-known tragedies, such as the sinking of the Titanic and the Lusitania, to lesser-known survivors of peril on the Atlantic.

In some instances, tragedy and great loss of human life occurred while in others the officers and crew of the ships preserved their vessels and reached port safely.
