The RMS Titanic was supposedly unsinkable, but in the early hours of 15 April 1912 this newest flagship of the White Star Line sank with great loss of life. Using many previously unpublished photographs, letters and oral histories, "Titanic Voices" is a recreation of the sinking of the great ship, reliving the events through the first-hand accounts of those who were actually there.
