Titanic lives : migrants and millionaires, conmen and crew
Davenport-Hines, R. P. T. (Richard Peter Treadwell), 1953-2012
Books
The author views the Titanic as a paradigm of Edwardian society. At the bottom of the ship was the steerage class, filled with emigrants hoping for a better life in the New World. Above them were the second class citizens buoyed-up by their prosperous respectability. And on the upper decks were the rich.
