The sinking of the Titanic is an event which moves me very deeply, possibly the most out of all historical events. It is an exquisite tragedy of both beauty and horror. I watched the 1958 film over the summer and was inspired thereafter to read the book of the same name, by Walter Lord. I hope I've done it a bit of justice in this audiobook.

The music in this chapter is by Camille Saint-Saëns ('Danse Macabre'), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ('Lacrimosa'), and Ludgwig van Beethoven ('7th Symphony').
