There were 712 survivors of the Titanic disaster and their horrific experience has captivated readers and movie goers for almost 100 years. But what was it actually like for a woman to say goodbye to her husband? For a mother to leave her teenage sons? For the unlucky many who found themselves in the freezing Atlantic waters (a few did live to tell the tale)?

Titanic Voices is the most comprehensive collection of Titanic survivors’ accounts ever published and includes many unpublished and long forgotten accounts, unabridged, together with an authoritative editorial commentary. It is also the first book to include substantial accounts from women survivors - most of the previously well known accounts were written by men.

THE EDITOR

Hannah Holman has been fascinated by the story of the Titanic since childhood. She was brought up with the memoirs left by the survivors and the ‘instant books’ published in the USA in the year following the disaster which also included testimony from survivors. She studied English Literature at Birmingham University and now lives in Bath.
