Encyclopedia Titanica –
Through hundreds of contemporary newspaper articles, Titanic historian Dave Bryceson relates British press coverage of the Titanic, from her construction and launch, through her maiden voyage and sinking, to the tragic aftermath, noting, in particular, the relief fund, the effect on communities such as the crew families in Southampton, the Titanic inquiries, and how the sinking was reflected in popular culture.
Containing a wealth of detail, the stories, albeit from a relatively limited range of papers, offer a dramatic and chronological account of the Titanic story as it reached readers at the time.
Highly recommended for all students of the Titanic disaster.
