Pobierz (PDF) A Night to Remember
By Walter Lord
First published in 1955, A Night to Remember remains a completely riveting account
of the Titanic's fatal collision and the behavior of the passengers and crew, both
noble and ignominious. Some sacrificed their lives, while others fought like animals
for their own survival. Wives beseeched husbands to join them in lifeboats;
gentlemen went taut-lipped to their deaths in full evening dress; and hundreds of
steerage passengers, trapped below decks, sought help in vain.
