The forgotten passengers of the Titanic

When the RMS Titanic sank on April 15, 1912, she took the lives of 1,496 people. Particularly tragic: a quarter of the victims were from the third class - men, women and children whose stories were hardly ever told. While the world mainly remembered the fates of the rich and famous, those who had little chance of being rescued were forgotten. This book gives a voice to the passengers of third class. It tells of their hopes, dreams and the desperate fight for survival - and sheds light on the shocking reasons why so many of them did not survive the disaster.
