RMS Titanic steamed into a brilliant western sunset on the cold night of April 14, 1912, with 2,208 people on board. Several books have included lists of the passenger names, a few even included the crew. None of them, however, included both and none are as thorough and accurate as Titanic Names: A Complete List of the Passengers and Crew, (Titanic Centennial Edition) the updated companion volume to Lee W. Merideths bestselling 1912 Facts About Titanic.

Who were the people on board the doomed liner on that fateful night so long ago? Where were they going? Where were they coming from? Were they emigrating, on vacation or traveling on business? Some we know a lot about, some we know very little, but this book shares their stories with you.

Titanic Names is designed as much for the casual reader as for the serious researcher. Two lists grace its pages, one for the passengers and the other for the crew. The Passenger List includes the following:

  • Name, (for women both their maiden and married names) and if they survived or not
  • Age
  • Residence
  • Class of service
  • Place of embarkation
  • Intended destination
  • If they survived, what lifeboat they were on
  • If they perished but their body was recovered, where they were buried
  • Who they traveled with, reason for the trip or some other interesting bit of information
  • Maids and servants are listed under their own name
  • Families are listed together
  • In addition to similar informational listings for each member of Titanic’s crew, job titles and the department in which each person worked are also included
The result is a fascinating glimpse into the personal lives of the 2,208 people aboard RMS Titanic on that disastrous voyage. Unique, impressive in scope and breadth, and definitive in both content and presentation and with over 13,000 copies in print, Titanic Names will take its place in the top tier of indispensable Titanic titles.
