An amazing number of audiobooks have been released on this topic, representing a wide range of perspectives. The Titanic Disaster Hearings makes for compelling listening and demonstrates the range of emotion that results when disaster strikes a large and varied body of people; sound effects add further depth to the production. The twenty-member star-studded cast gives the listener a feeling of history and a sense of what the 1912 Senate hearings were like. It's also intriguing to hear firsthand the vocabulary and manners practiced early in this century.
