Description
One hundred years ago, the mightiest "unsinkable" ship began her maiden voyage to cross the Atlantic. An engineering feat 11 stories high, the Titanic contained a list of passengers collectively worth $250 million when she left port on April 10, 1912, but she would never reach her destination. The Titanic collided with an iceberg on the night of April 14, and 1,500 people died in the freezing waters as the ship met her watery grave. Spectacular in many ways, it's a story that has spurred legends and still sends shivers down the spine a century later. This minute-by-minute account of the sinking is based on over 20 years of research and offers amazing detail of that fateful night.
Read by Martin Jarvis, it's a riveting account of one of the world's biggest maritime disasters and the behavior of the passengers and crew. Some sacrificed their lives, while others fought like animals for their own survival. Wives beseeched husbands to join them in lifeboats; gentlemen went taut-lipped to their deaths in full evening dress; and hundreds of steerage passengers, trapped below decks, sought help in vain. From the initial distress flares to the struggles of those left adrift for hours in freezing waters, this audiobook brings that moonlit night in 1912 to life for a new generation of listeners.

The first book ever written on the disaster!
The narration was perfect for this story. The story itself, written in the 50s, still had access to the people involved in that terrible tragedy.
This book differs greatly from any other I've listened to or read on the subject as it presents from a human standpoint instead of the scientific and technical. Me personally I don't care about how the ship was built and why it sank, I care about the lives, the stories, the human beings who were affected.
The social aspects are interesting and I find it quite comical that the author spent quite a bit of time discussing what people were wearing when the accident happened. These are the things that were told to interviewers right after the disaster. There was very little knowledge and understanding of PTSD and traumatic effect and it's interesting to see these very things come into play even though they didn't know it at the time.
I guarantee you will love this story if you are anything like me and are a Titantic aficionado!

Well written and well narrated.
The story of the Titanic is a fascinating one that understandably has a lot of emotion tied to it. What I most appreciated about this is while it shows that emotion and does a great job of placing you in the chaos, it doesn’t add editorial to fuel that emotion; there are no “villains” here - just people, flaws and all, doing good and bad things in a chaotic and tragic moment.

Based on Contemporaneous Information
This book is, on the one hand, relatively dated (published well before the discovery of the wreck and the recreated elements of a devastating engineering collapse) but it is generously fed by eyewitness testimonials from survivors that were actually there..
Author/Historian Walter Lord endeavors to put readers/listeners on-board the HMS Titanic on the night of April 14, 1912 (without the focus on safety mistakes & design failures that make up the majority of most recent chronicles).. and largely succeeds.
We are treated to a well-written and all-too-relatable account of what it was like to watch 1503 people die in nearly unimaginable circumstances.
The recording quality is excellent - featuring a great performance from Martin Jarvis. His diction, timbre, cadence, and pacing are spot-on.. and his matter-of-fact tone is edifying but includes emotive elements that keep listeners riveted.
Altogether, this is a 9.5/10 star presentation. I am genuinely grateful that Audible offered this book as part of the 'Plus' initiative - because it's easily worth a Credit. Dedicated students of the disaster will doubtless recognize inconsistencies in the sequence of events and could point out where testimony doesn't fit forensic evidence - but with those caveats, 'A Night to Remember' is well worth a listen.

Annoying Voice Actor
The story is incredible, but the irritating voice acting is distracting and nearly ruins the entire book.

Captivating
It’s difficult to say you really liked a book about such a tragic event. The author certainly captured the tragedy from the perspective of the many survivors who gave their harrowing accounts of that fateful night.
The narrator did a great job and he was easy to listen to. I highly recommend this beautifully written book.

Brief and brilliant
Brief account of the few hours surrounding the sinking. Martin Jarvis’ narration makes it that much better.

an excellent account.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend the book to anyone who really wants to relive the ship's last night.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked the interesting things I learned about the time period such as the class system on the ship that no longer exists today. I was also interested to find out why there had been so little life boat storage on the ship.
What about Martin Jarvis’s performance did you like?
Jarvis's performance was excellent. When you want to listen to someone read an account like this, I would recommend Jarvis as a perfect narrator for historical accounts.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
My reaction to the book was sadness for all those lost at sea. I also think that ship builders should now think twice before they declare a ship unsinkable based on what this book tells us.
Any additional comments?
I have listened to another Walter Lord account on the Titanic titled the night lives on. This book is not posted on audible, but you can read this in print. I have the cassette edition. Yes, I still have a cassette player. Even though these books are the same in most respects, the night lives on delves into some of the myths surrounding the ship in greater detail rather then just posing the questions. I would strongly recommend reading this account as well. This I think is better then watching the hit movie from 1997. If you don't care for the love story in the film, the account I have mentioned along with this book are well worth your time.

Different Insight into Titanic's History
This is a good historical account of what happened the night The Titanic sank, written from curation of various resources. It reads more like a story than a collection dry facts, except this is not a book of fiction. I have been interested in the history of The Titanic and what happened the night it sank, and while many of the facts outlined in this book are not news to me, some were.
I enjoyed the book quite a bit. Both the writing style and the narration style are great. The only thing I don't like too much about it is that in the middle of the book, the author suddenly got a rambly and kept on talking in circles. It's as if there's a word count target to meet, and the author didn't know what else to write, so he just stuck a bunch of additional sentences and paragraphs in that particular chapter. It got very distracting and almost made me give up on the rest of the book. Thankfully the rambling stopped and the book got back to the subject at hand.

Oral histories
I adored the narrator’s voice and the author’s story telling ability. It was sublime. I’ve always been intrigued by the Titanic and to be able to listen to this for free was wonderful. It’s going to be hard to return to the book I took a break from!

Great Book for Titanic Historians
Great compiling of events about the Titanic disaster, from the collision to the aftermath of the disaster. It is a little scatter-brained sometimes with event though.
