Summary

"Titanic" by Filson Young is a retelling of one of history's most infamous maritime disasters. The account paints a vivid picture of the ship's creation in the bustling shipyards of Belfast, where the sheer scale of the Titanic is brought to life through descriptive prose, as it towers over the workers constructing it. As the story shifts to the maiden voyage, the lives of the passengers are brought to the forefront, from the wealthiest to the poorest, and from the grandest suites to steerage. As the ship makes its journey across the waters, the author invites the reader to remember that tragedy awaits.

About the Author

Alexander Bell Filson Young (1876–1938) was a journalist from Northern Ireland, who published the first book about the sinking of the RMS Titanic, called Titanic, in 1912, only 37 days after the sinking. He was also an essayist, war correspondent in the Boer War and World War I, a programmes advisor to the BBC, and the author of two novels. Beside his literary work, he was an organist and composer, and a pioneer of motoring and aviation.
