Voyagers Of The Titanic by Richard Davenport-Hines
Passengers, Scientists, State Officials and the Cultural Context
A textured collective portrait of the people who sailed on the Titanic, tracing a cross-section of lives — from wealthy socialites to hopeful emigrants — to show why they were aboard, what they carried with them, and how the disaster revealed the class divisions, contradictions and human dramas of the Edwardian age; blending short biographies, social and cultural context, and elegiac storytelling, the book uses individual stories to illuminate the broader moral and historical meanings of the sinking.
