À propos de cet audio
One hundred years ago, the mightiest "unsinkable" ship began her maiden voyage to cross the Atlantic. An engineering feat 11 stories high, the Titanic contained a list of passengers collectively worth $250 million when she left port on April 10, 1912, but she would never reach her destination. The Titanic collided with an iceberg on the night of April 14, and 1,500 people died in the freezing waters as the ship met her watery grave. Spectacular in many ways, it's a story that has spurred legends and still sends shivers down the spine a century later. This minute-by-minute account of the sinking is based on over 20 years of research and offers amazing detail of that fateful night.
Read by Martin Jarvis, it's a riveting account of one of the world's biggest maritime disasters and the behavior of the passengers and crew. Some sacrificed their lives, while others fought like animals for their own survival. Wives beseeched husbands to join them in lifeboats; gentlemen went taut-lipped to their deaths in full evening dress; and hundreds of steerage passengers, trapped below decks, sought help in vain. From the initial distress flares to the struggles of those left adrift for hours in freezing waters, this audiobook brings that moonlit night in 1912 to life for a new generation of listeners.

Well written and well narrated.
The story of the Titanic is a fascinating one that understandably has a lot of emotion tied to it. What I most appreciated about this is while it shows that emotion and does a great job of placing you in the chaos, it doesn’t add editorial to fuel that emotion; there are no “villains” here - just people, flaws and all, doing good and bad things in a chaotic and tragic moment.

Very descriptive
I wasn't sure what to expect, but this was exceedingly well done. Very descriptive of the events, and some of the very real people involved in this awful tradgedy

The first book ever written on the disaster!
The narration was perfect for this story. The story itself, written in the 50s, still had access to the people involved in that terrible tragedy.
This book differs greatly from any other I've listened to or read on the subject as it presents from a human standpoint instead of the scientific and technical. Me personally I don't care about how the ship was built and why it sank, I care about the lives, the stories, the human beings who were affected.
The social aspects are interesting and I find it quite comical that the author spent quite a bit of time discussing what people were wearing when the accident happened. These are the things that were told to interviewers right after the disaster. There was very little knowledge and understanding of PTSD and traumatic effect and it's interesting to see these very things come into play even though they didn't know it at the time.
I guarantee you will love this story if you are anything like me and are a Titantic aficionado!

Captivating
It’s difficult to say you really liked a book about such a tragic event. The author certainly captured the tragedy from the perspective of the many survivors who gave their harrowing accounts of that fateful night.
The narrator did a great job and he was easy to listen to. I highly recommend this beautifully written book.

Based on Contemporaneous Information
This book is, on the one hand, relatively dated (published well before the discovery of the wreck and the recreated elements of a devastating engineering collapse) but it is generously fed by eyewitness testimonials from survivors that were actually there..
Author/Historian Walter Lord endeavors to put readers/listeners on-board the HMS Titanic on the night of April 14, 1912 (without the focus on safety mistakes & design failures that make up the majority of most recent chronicles).. and largely succeeds.
We are treated to a well-written and all-too-relatable account of what it was like to watch 1503 people die in nearly unimaginable circumstances.
The recording quality is excellent - featuring a great performance from Martin Jarvis. His diction, timbre, cadence, and pacing are spot-on.. and his matter-of-fact tone is edifying but includes emotive elements that keep listeners riveted.
Altogether, this is a 9.5/10 star presentation. I am genuinely grateful that Audible offered this book as part of the 'Plus' initiative - because it's easily worth a Credit. Dedicated students of the disaster will doubtless recognize inconsistencies in the sequence of events and could point out where testimony doesn't fit forensic evidence - but with those caveats, 'A Night to Remember' is well worth a listen.
