The massive 50,000 ton ship hailed as ‘unsinkable’ was soon slipping into the cold Atlantic Ocean, the crew and passengers scrambling to launch lifeboats before being sucked into the deep. To have sailed on ‘the voyage of the century’ aboard White Star Line’s RMS Titanic – described at the time as ‘a floating palace’ – was like being one of the first passengers to fly on Concorde. You can also relax and enjoy a beautiful cocktail at the Harland Bar, the newest cocktail bar in Belfast City. In a way it's perfect; the whole tale is a meta-story because part of the text is about, 'Sure, when you've got it, use it, enjoy your life, but know it will end, be aware of it' - it's almost like a sort of curse.

The remainder of the book deals with facts and myths attached to the voyage, and analyses the memoirs and essays of the survivors recounting the finer details of what took place on the night the Titanic sank.

It was essentially partly the protection that damaged it, so it was almost as a result of their efforts to keep it safe - it wasn't safe - which I also find interesting, because the more you try to protect this book the worse you make it," Mr Maggs says.

I am a fan of books that recounts historical events, I've just finished Erik Larson The Devil in the White City, and I'm wondering if there is a similar book on the Titanic? Readers are given individual stories' and I was shocked at how many had those in their lives or who went to psychics who were given premonitions that they would not survive the voyage or that the voyage was doomed.
