A Night to Remember: The Classic Account of the Final Hours of the Titanic by Walter Lord

adventurous dark emotional informative sad fast-paced

4.5

This tells the story, in a straightforward way, the story of the sinking of the Titanic. There are brave and scared, heroic and human. I chose to read it because, well, for some reason it felt appropriate for January 2025

The take away: it took a very long time for the people on the boat to realize it was sinking.  Everyone on the boat thought "It's unsinkable" and thus did nothing.

Read this metaphor as I intend to be read.
