  Contemporary accounts and survivors' stories of the 'unsinkable' liner; The story of the sinking of the great liner, Titanic, has been told countless times since that fateful night on 14th April 1912 by authors and film producers alike, but no account is as graphic or revealing as those who were actually there. Through survivors' tales, and contemporary newspaper reports from both sides of the Atlantic, The Mammoth Book of How it Happened: the Titanic strips away the Hollywood gloss and tells the real story of the 'unsinkable' vessel. Here are eye-witness accounts full of details that range from poignant to humorous, stage by stage from her glorious launch in Belfast to the sombre sea burial services of those who perished on her first and only voyage.
