Beskrivelse:
When RMS Titanic set sail for New York from Southampton on 10th April 1912, she was one of the great modern feats of engineering. Designed by a team of skilled engineers and boasting some of the most advanced technologies and safety features of time, she was hailed as unsinkable . Then just four days into her maiden voyage she struck an iceberg and sank, instantly becoming the most infamous maritime disaster in history. Of the 2,223 passengers on board, 1,523 died at sea. One hundred years on from that tragic day, we have bought together six programmes that examine the Titanic and the tragedy in detail, compiled a wonderfully illustrated book on the ship s history and reproduced an array of memorabilia from The National Archives. Also, in tribute to one of the most enduring stories that came from the sinking of the Titanic, a CD featuring 25 tracks from the era called The Band Played On is included in this definitive set.
