Story4.5 out of 5 stars 533
A few minutes before midnight on April 14, 1912, the "unsinkable" RMS Titanic, on her maiden voyage to New York, struck an iceberg. Less than three hours later she lay at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. While the world has remained fascinated by the tragedy, the most amazing drama of those fateful hours was not played out aboard the doomed liner. It took place on the decks of two other ships, one 58 miles distant from the sinking Titanic, the other barely 10 miles away.

Although we think we know the story of the Titanic - the famously unsinkable ship that hit an iceberg on its maiden voyage from Britain to America in April 1912 - little has been written about what happened to the survivors after the tragedy. How did the loss of the ship shape the lives of the people who survived? How did those who were saved feel about those who perished? And how did they remember that terrible night?

Returning to New York means having her debut into society, and that means a swiftly arranged marriage.

Of course, if she’s unlucky, her life will be over far sooner than that.

The Titanic has often been called "An exquisite microcosm of the Edwardian era", but until now, her story has not been presented as such. In Gilded Lives, Fatal Voyage, historian Hugh Brewster seamlessly interweaves personal narratives of the lost liner's most fascinating people with a haunting account of the fateful maiden crossing. Employing scrupulous research, he accurately depicts the ship's brief life and tragic denouement and presents compelling, memorable portraits of her most notable passengers.

At the end of the last century, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, was a booming coal-and-steel town filled with hardworking families striving for a piece of the nation's burgeoning industrial prosperity. In the mountains above Johnstown, an old earth dam had been hastily rebuilt to create a lake for an exclusive summer resort patronized by the tycoons of that same industrial prosperity, among them Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, and Andrew Mellon.

On May 1, 1915, a luxury ocean liner as richly appointed as an English country house sailed out of New York, bound for Liverpool, carrying a record number of children and infants. The passengers were anxious. Germany had declared the seas around Britain to be a war zone, and for months, its U-boats had brought terror to the North Atlantic.

The ordeal of the whaleship Essex was an event as mythic in the nineteenth century as the sinking of the Titanic was in the twentieth. In 1819 the Essex left Nantucket for the South Pacific with 20 crew members aboard. In the middle of the South Pacific the ship was rammed and sunk by an angry sperm whale. The crew drifted for more than 90 days in three tiny whaleboats, succumbing to weather, hunger, and disease and ultimately turning to drastic measures in the fight for survival.

"The tragedies keep coming. As we reel from the latest horror..." So begins a new epilogue, illustrating how Columbine became the template for nearly two decades of "spectacle murders". It is a false script, seized upon by a generation of new killers. In the wake of Newtown, Aurora, and Virginia Tech, the imperative to understand the crime that sparked this plague grows more urgent every year. What really happened April 20, 1999? The horror left an indelible stamp on the American psyche, but most of what we "know" is wrong.

Publisher's Summary
April 15, 1912
Soon, Titanic's voyage will come to a deadly end with the sinking of the unsinkable.
This is the story of the final 48 hours of the RMS Titanic, its first and last voyage. The story is told in a compelling countdown that ends mere hours after the ship's sinking.
This book describes the last days, actions, and thoughts of architect Thomas Andrews and passenger Margaret Brown, known as the Unsinkable Molly Brown, as they interact with other passengers and crew members during these last 48 hours.
While Miss Brown enjoys her cruise and her interactions with everyone onboard, Mr. Andrews is at first proud and then haunted by this stately ship. What starts out as a happy and joyous occasion soon turns to dread and despair at the news that the Titanic has hit an iceberg.
Miss Brown and Mr. Andrews are on the same yet very different mission of saving passengers while forgoing themselves and their own personal demons and dangers. While chaos and panic ensue, lives will soon be saved and also lost as the Titanic breathes her last breath and gives Molly Brown and Thomas Andrews very different endings.
What were Captain Smith's and Ismay's thoughts and actions during this horrific time? How could such a proud start turn into absolute horror? What are the consequences of the decision to forgo more lifeboats?
How could an exciting voyage with world elite onboard turn into a horrific voyage of death?

Big Dreams with a Tragic end
The happy passengers that set sail aboard
the Titanic on April 10th had no idea that 1,503 of them would parish just 4 days later on the unsinkable ship.
This marvelous vessel was the largest passenger ship in the world in 1912.
With a Grand Staircase that descended down 7 of the 10 decks.
Unfortunately the fate of this beautiful ship was set after hitting an iceberg around 100 foot tall.
With an insufficient amount of life boats only a estimated 705 passengers survived.
This story centers on the passengers and how they did or didn't live though that terrible night on April 15th.
I requested this book in exchange for my honest review because like many, my fascination with the ship is abundant.
The narrator J. Scott Bennett did an excellent job portraying the various characters.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves all things Titanic.

An new look at Titanic's story
This is an interesting dive into the possible thoughts and actions of Thomas Andrews (architect), Molly Brown and other staff and passengers during the last hours of the Titanic's ill-fated maiden voyage. Even though this is a work of fiction, you could actually imagine it all happening as the author potrayed it. The narrator did an excellent job of bring the various characters to life, making their emotions seem real, and capturing the sadness, fear and panic of the disaster. He also did a great job of the various accents as well. This novel melding of fiction and fact was well written and narrated and gave a new twist to Titanic's story

Titanic and Margaret Brown
Titanic from the eyes of Margaret Brown, or better know as " The Unsinkable Molly Brown"
This is a great book for Tiantic lovers alike.
This is fiction with a lot of actual facts around it. It was really was nice to see so many names brought to life from the writer.
I am a big fan of The Titanic and of Margaret Brown. I have read a lot on both subjects.
Thank you for anther tale and a more "realistic" look for these two put together.
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Narration was Superb
Margaret Brown a passenger and Thomas Andrew the architect are the main characters.The narration by J Scott Bennett was superb, his voice fitted into that era of time. Superb for the other voices also.
Margaret defended the ill dressed and passengers on the lower decks. Those rooms were 20 pounds, so if they had that in pockets were welcome on board. The gossip was that of husband wealth, their servants and what was worn if in fashion, among the first class.
The captain, with thoughts of making history. Was it to come into port sooner, showing this was the way to travel across the seas.
Though fictional, it still gave a good account of the final thoughts in the last hours, the darkness of night, and the dark dread of ice waters and losing loved ones. Though Margaret and Andrew did their best to save, there still was lost. Given ARC audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
The narration was superb by J Scott Bennett.

Engaging novelization of a true event.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, it was both factual and a great story, told as a novelization of the true events.
What did you like best about this story?
I loved the narration, very easy to listen to. And the way the story was told, so that I was able to envision what the passengers and crew experienced first hand.
Which character – as performed by J. Scott Bennett – was your favorite?
I liked the unsinkable Molly Brown, he gave her just the right amount of spunk and personality.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I had the natural reaction of being sad about the many lives lost, especially because that could have been mitigated by more life boats.
Any additional comments?
A quick listen (2 hours and 41 minutes) the story is gripping throughout, partly because I already know of the disaster to come, and partly because the narrator is one of those rare people that has the natural gift of the story teller. I felt as if a world class story teller was telling me a fascinating tale of tragedy. That it was true made it all the more compelling.

Excellent Retelling of the Final Hours on Titanic
Any additional comments?
I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom. If you like or love stories based on historic events, this audiobook is for you. J. Scott Bennett does an excellent job bringing the historic final hours to life. It reminded me of what you might see on a TV special such as "Unsolved Mysteries" or "In Search of". This story maybe fictional based on historic facts, it's believable and very entertaining. This audiobook is just under 3 hours and is perfect for a shorter listen. I found this to be an interesting and entertaining listen and recommend it if you enjoy stories based on actual events in history.

Scott Bennett gives a nice narrative from beginning to end.I was provided this book by the author, narrator or publisher.

good story
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. I thought this book was written very well. The facts included in it were directly in line with what I already knew. It was interesting to hear what could have potentially taken place between Molly Brown and Thomas Andrews during the trip. The narrator did a great job. He was smooth and easy to listen to, and did a wonderful job with the accents.

Titanic told through the eyes of Molly Brown and Thomas Andrews
I have always been fascinated with the story of the Titanic and the tragic events that unfolded on that fateful night. I tend to read/listen to anything I can get my hands on so couldn’t wait to give this one a listen. This audio looks at the story from the viewpoint of Molly Brown (a passenger) and Thomas Andrews (the designer of the ship). Although this won’t tell you anything new I did find it a fascinating and heartbreaking listen and a really good look at the final days of this doomed liner and the people on her. I thought the narrator was really suited to the story as well.

"Molly, dear, we have hit an iceberg."

This is the story of the Titanic, the iconic passenger ship known as "unsinkable", which sank on it's maiden voyage, taking with it the lives of many hundreds of those sailing on her. It is a well known event in shipping history, made all the more poignant by the belief at the launch that this was an especially safe vessel (which some claimed only the hand of God himself could destroy) and consequently had a vastly insufficient number of lifeboats aboard should the unthinkable happen.
The author has contrived a fictional story based around named people known to have been travelling on the tragic journey, notably the chief designer and architect of the Titanic, Andrews, and a woman who became famous in later years for her courage and advocacy of human rights, Miss Margaret (Molly) Brown, to give life to the countdown of events as they happened. Much speculation remains about everything that occured on that terrible night but, even over a century after the sinking, it remains a story of misjudgement, complacency as well as personal courage. In so dramatic a tale, it would be easy for the author to overdramatize, but I.T.Belmont resists this. So, too, does the narrator, J.Scott Bennett, instead letting the reader's imagination fill in the gaps as the full realisation of circumstances evolve. As always, Mr.Bennett's reading is impeccable, easy to listen to and his character voicings are distinct (even if his Irish accent was slightly strange).
This is, perhaps, not the best retelling of the events of that night but it is does give a taste of the attitudes inherent at the time as well as detailing the death of the great ship and, as such, is still well worth reading. It is a story which shocks and horrifies even after the elapse of so many years. Recommended.
