Description
The moving story of the Spaniards who lived that unique journey
A century after the sinking of the Titanic, it can be firmly stated that there were ten Spaniards on board that April 15, 1912.
- How many perished in the most famous shipwreck in the history of navigation?
- How many of those Spaniards managed to save themselves and how did they do it?
- What led them in each case to make the inaugural and only voyage of what was called in its time “the unsinkable ship”?
- What happened to the survivors?
- Did you overcome tragedy at some point in your life?
This book answers all these questions and many more related to the before, during and after of the ten Spaniards who despite themselves experienced the collision with the iceberg and its disastrous consequences.
It is the entire story of the ten, as even the deceased have appeared in episodes after their death that rival the complexity of a convoluted novel.
And what can we say about the lucky ones who finally managed to reach New York after the rescue?
The Titanic Ten is not a novel. It is a precise recreation of those centuries-old events based on the testimonies of the survivors, the official investigations of the time, scientific and journalistic works and also on what some descendants of those Spaniards have seen fit to remember and tell.
In short The Titanic Ten is the best tribute to María Josefa Peñasco, Fermina Oliva, Víctor Peñasco, Encarnación Reynaldo, Emilio Pallás, Julián Padró, Florentina Durán, Asunción Durán, Juan Monros and Servando Oviés. Or in other words: Catalonia, Madrid, Andalusia, Castilla-La Mancha and Asturias.
