In the early hours of 15 April 1912, after the majestic liner Titanic had split apart & the 1, 500 men, women & children struggled to stay alive in the freezing Atlantic, the sea was alive with the sound of screaming. Then, as the ship sank to the ocean floor & the passengers slowly died from hypothermia, a deathly silence settled over the sea. Yet the echoes of that night reverberated through the lives of each of the 705 survivors. Shadow of the Titanic tells the extraordinary stories of some of those who survived. 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

Timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the sinking, Shadow of the Titanic sheds new light on this enduringly fascinating story, by showing how the disaster continued to shape the lives of a cross-section of passengers who escaped the sinking ship.
