Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about Titanic, the British passenger liner that sank on her maiden voyage after a collision with an iceberg in 1912; however, until now little mention has been made about the intricate world of the ship’s complement, which comprised more than the total of third-class passengers alone. Titanic researcher Günter Bäbler examines in detail the working structure of the crew, including the complex arrangement of the engineering department and information on tips, salaries and hidden bonuses, while each of the 899 crew members on board is mentioned. This valuable study breathes life into the forgotten but significant story of the ship and its relationship to its crew, of whom over 75 per cent died when Titanic sank.

Download or read book Total Titanic written by Marc Shapiro and published by ibooks. This book was released on 1998 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The R.M.S. Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic at 11.40pm on April 14, 1912. By 2.20am on April 15, the last visible section of the Titanic sank below the icy ocean waters. More than 1,500 passengers and crew lost their lives. Only 700 people survived. It has been called the greatest sea tragedy of all time. In the wake of the disaster, the Titanic and the events surrounding its ill-fated journey have become part of twentieth-century myth. As with all great mysteries, much has been written and said about the event either stretches the truth or disregards it entirely. Now TOTAL TITANIC will separate fiction from fact and report on what actually happened as best we know it, from personal memories, official records, and discoveries made on recent expeditions to the ship's ocean-bottom grave.

Book Synopsis Gender at Sea by : Marleen Reichgelt e.a.
Download or read book Gender at Sea written by Marleen Reichgelt e.a. and published by Uitgeverij Verloren. This book was released on 2022-12-14 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries seafaring people thought that the presence of women on board would mean bad luck: rough weather, shipwreck, and other disasters were sure to follow. Because of these beliefs and prejudices women were supposedly excluded from the maritime domain. In the field of maritime history too, the ship and the sea have predominantly been perceived as a space for men. This volume of the Yearbook of Women’s History challenges these notions. It asks: to what extent were the sea and the ship ever male-dominated and masculine spaces? How have women been part of seafaring communities, maritime undertakings, and maritime culture? How did gender notions impact life on board and vice versa? From a multidisciplinary perspective, this volume moves from Indonesia to the Faroe Islands, from the Mediterranean to Newfoundland; bringing to light the presence of women and the workings of gender on sailing, whaling, steam, cruise, passenger, pirate, and navy ships. As a whole it demonstrates the diversity and the agency of women at sea from ancient times to the present day.

Book Synopsis Who Sailed on Titanic? by : Debbie Beavis
Download or read book Who Sailed on Titanic? written by Debbie Beavis and published by Ian Allan Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The search for the definitive passenger list of the Titanic has consumed researchers for 90 years. Lists marketed under various names invariably prove to be compilations drawn from several sources, often perpetuating earlier inaccuracies and with no citations whatsoever. Numerous lists of passengers' names were compiled before, during and after the tragedy, by shipping lines and government departments on both sides of the Atlantic. These documents are now scattered throughout archives in the UK, the USA and Canada, with most now being withdrawn from public access for safekeeping. Debbie Beavis has, for many years, being analysing these records. Drawing upon her researches she is able to demonstrate the reliability or otherwise of these documents whose accuracy has never before been fully examined. The information gleaned by comparing British and US passenger records is astounding. In this book the author demonstrates that any two entries for the same person were often far from identical and that any attempt to arrive at a complete list of passengers was futile.For many passengers not only was there contradictory evidence of their personal details and fate that night, but similar documentary confusion as to whether they even sailed at all. For those researching their emigrant ancestors, this book introduces valuable new sources. It provides a new insight into the transportation not only of passengers on board the Titanic but of all emigrants passing through British ports in the decade leading up to the outbreak of World War 1. Never before has such comprehensive research been available in one place. The documentary evidence gleaned from the Titanic and other contemporary but rarely used shipping records along with photographs, diaries and other contemporary ephemera will raise awareness of the story behind passenger travel on board some of Edwardian Britain's finest liners.

Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of The Downstairs Girl comes the richly imagined story of Valora and Jamie Luck, twin British-Chinese acrobats traveling aboard the Titanic on its ill-fated maiden voyage. Valora Luck has two things: a ticket for the biggest and most luxurious ocean liner in the world, and a dream of leaving England behind and making a life for herself as a circus performer in New York. Much to her surprise though, she's turned away at the gangway; apparently, Chinese aren't allowed into America. But Val has to get on that ship. Her twin brother Jamie, who has spent two long years at sea, is there, as is an influential circus owner, whom Val hopes to audition for. Thankfully, there's not much a trained acrobat like Val can't overcome when she puts her mind to it. As a stowaway, Val should keep her head down and stay out of sight. But the clock is ticking and she has just seven days as the ship makes its way across the Atlantic to find Jamie, perform for the circus owner, and convince him to help get them both into America. Then one night the unthinkable happens, and suddenly Val's dreams of a new life are crushed under the weight of the only thing that matters: survival.
