About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Sinking of the "Titanic" : most appalling ocean horror by Jay Henry Mowbray. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. The Titanic was thought to be the safest ship to set sail as it embarked on its maiden voyage. Unfortunately, history tells us differently. This is an "eye witness account", cobbled together by the author from statements given by survivors. It is not for the faint of heart. - Summary by LynneT
