One hundred years ago, a ship thought to be indestructible struck an iceberg during its maiden voyage and sunk in the icy waters of the North Atlantic. What happened on that night has haunted and entranced us ever since.
On the 100th anniversary of “the night to remember,” LIFE revisits the human drama surrounding the Titanic—a story of heroism and hubris, romance and recrimination, told in a panorama of words and stunning pictures.
This oversized, deluxe book features archival photography, past reporting in LIFE magazine and accounts of the modern-day explorations of Robert Ballard and others. The book will also include a section on the 3-D treatment of the hugely popular 1997 movie. And there are scores of first-person accounts: the words of survivors, including little-known stories from steerage as well as the well-known drama that occurred above decks. In addition, there are chapter sections that lend valuable context; for example, a history of famous shipwrecks, and where the Titanic fits in the grand picture.
LIFE: Titanic—The Tragedy That Shook the World—One Century Later leaves us with the indelible feeling that the Titanic tragedy is the one we care about, and need to revisit.
