Victoria Brown

The Death Ship (eBook, ePUB)

Recovering the Bodies of Titanic's Dead

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Death is a topic we often avoid talking about, but Victoria Brown faces it head on, taking a deep dive into the fate of Titanic's victims: how did they die? How did their bodies decompose? Were their bodies recovered and buried? What happened to the bodies that went down with the ship? And what of Titanic's legacy? This book explores the proposed legislative changes, salvage proposals and surge of interest the wreck received shortly after the disaster, alongside the contemporary controversy surrounding the wreck as a shipwreck versus a gravesite. This crucial but seldom told part of Titanic's story also gives recognition to the people of Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada, whose unwavering dedication ensured those who died were properly taken care of.
