With a 4.9-star rating from 455 reviews, this book is a definitive must-read for Titanic enthusiasts and history buffs alike. ## Description On the night of 14/15 April 1912, a brandnew, supposedly unsinkable ship, the largest and most luxurious vessel in the world at the time, collided with an iceberg and sank on her maiden voyage. Of the 2,208 people on board, only 712 were saved. The rest either drowned or froze to death in the icy-cold waters of the North Atlantic. How could this ‘unsinkable’ vessel sink and why did so few of those aboard survive? The authors bring the tragedy to life, telling the story of the ship’s design, construction and maiden voyage. The stories of individuals who sailed on her, many previously known only as names on yellowing passenger and crew lists, are brought to light using rarely-seen accounts of the sinking. The stories of passengers of all classes and crewmembers alike, are explored. They tell the dramatic stories of lives lost and people saved, of the rescue ship Carpathia, and of the aftermath of the sinking. Never again would a large passenger liner sail without lifeboats for all. Despite the tragedy, the sinking of the Titanic indirectly led to untold numbers of lives being saved due to new regulations that came into force after the tragedy. Profusely illustrated, including many rare and unique views of the ship and those who sailed on her, this is as accurate and engrossing a telling of the life of the White Star Line’s Titanic and her sinking as you will read anywhere. Made special by the use of so many rare survivor accounts from the eye witnesses to that night to remember, the narrative places the reader in the middle of the maiden voyage, and brings the tragic sinking to life as never before. Review: Uno de los libros más completos sobre el Titanic - Intensa investigación sobre el Titanic, con información muy completa y refrendado con numerosas referencias. Libro básico para amantes del tema. Review: I can see why people consider this THE book on Titanic - The level of detail in this book is amazing, and this book is a must have for any Titanic enthusiast. The authors have worked diligently to bring together a number of different resources (survivor testimonies, existing books [for example, Walter Lord’s fantastic A Night To Remember], modern research, etc) all so you don’t have to. While some events are repeated, it is to provide context to the text. One recommendation from me though, I made the mistake of not reading the end notes while reading the main text - some of the end notes are quite detailed and are worth reading during the text itself. Would very much recommend this book if your interest in Titanic is high. ## Features - Amberley publishing ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #107,362 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #11 in African Poetry #79 in Ships #121 in Travel Photography | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 455 Reviews | ## Images ![Amberley Publishing On a Sea of Glass: The Life & Loss of the RMS Titanic - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61O2Tb7QteL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Uno de los libros más completos sobre el Titanic *by O***N on 4 May 2015* Intensa investigación sobre el Titanic, con información muy completa y refrendado con numerosas referencias.

Diesmal wieder mit einer völlig eingeschlagenen Ecke, bis Seite 60 ist der Knick zu sehen. Das Buch selber ist toll und jeden Euro wert. ## Frequently Bought Together - On a Sea of Glass: The Life & Loss of the RMS Titanic - Shadow of the Titanic: The Extraordinary Stories of Those Who Survived --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/348915138-amberley-publishing-on-a-sea-of-glass-the-life-loss](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/348915138-amberley-publishing-on-a-sea-of-glass-the-life-loss) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
