This is the story of the Titanic's fatal voyage that the famous film is based on, originally written in 1955. Despite watching he film first, I still got lost in the writing and found the detail much better than the film. The book actually draws you in to the emotion and reality of what it would have been like to be on the Titanic on that fateful night, without the added dramatics of the cinema.

Lord was renowned for his knowledge of the Titanic catastrophe, serving as consultant to director James Cameron during the filming of Titanic. A Night to Remember was published in 1955 and has never been out of print. Walter Lord died in 2002.
