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 these passengers, a slim handful even include the crew. None of them, however, are as thorough and accurate as Titanic Names: A Complete List of the Passengers and Crew, the long- awaited companion volume to Lee W Merideth's bestselling 1912 Facts About Titanic. Who were the people that rode the doomed liner on that fateful night so long ago? What were their names? Where were they going? Where were they coming from? Were they on vacation or traveling on business? How many were emigrating to the United States with the hope of beginning a new life? Too often these people have been viewed as simple statistics when, in reality, each soul has a story to tell. Merideth's book shares their story with you. Titanic Names is designed as much for the casual reader as for the serious researcher. Its simplicity and ease of use are readily apparent in its presentation format. Two lists grace its pages, one for the passengers, and the other for the crew including who survived and the number of their lifeboat. If they perished, information as to whether their body was recovered and the burial location is included. Additional information may indicate a special relationship to another passenger (a maid or servant, for example), or the purpose of the trip. Families are listed together to ease the task of genealogical researchers. In addition to similar informational listings for each member of the 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

RMS Titanic steamed into a brilliant sunset on the cold night of April 14, 1912, with 2,208 people on board. Some books have included lists of the passenger names and 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). Designed for the casual reader and the serious researcher, two lists grace its pages; one for the passengers and one for the crew. The lists include the following: name, (for women, listed by both their maiden and married names); if they survived or not; age; residence; class of service; place of embarkation; 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; job titles and the department in which each crew member worked and other useful and important information. The result is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the people aboard Titanic on that disastrous voyage. Unique, impressive in scope, 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. NOTE: This is the updated version of the companion volume to Lee W. Merideth’s best selling 1912 Facts About Titanic.
