'In this book, Victoria Brown looks into how and why so many of those aboard Titanic lost their lives….' (Steve Hall, Foreword to The Death Ship) * 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.
