Titanic Names: A Complete List of Passengers and Crew
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

This is one of my favorite books to look through!! I read a lot about the Titanic and I absolutely love to look up the names in other books I read, to learn more about their real lives. I enjoy seeing all the little details about people in here, such as why they were traveling or about their families. It just makes what happened so real.
With my hindsight, I often think about how could you let this happen? And this book constantly makes me think that. It’s so interesting, and I love that this book makes the humanity part of this tragedy real.

A great resource for any Titanic buff. It's sobering to see listed together, name after name of those who didn't survive, especially entire families who were lost.

Great as a reference for writing a paper on this tragic world event. Gives insight into each passenger, did they live or did they die? Their backgrounds, before and after.
I went to the Titanic exhibit in my city when it came to town and purchased books from the tour. It was amazing and ironically, one of the passengers that survived lived very close to my parents home. During the tour I was given the name of the passenger to discover their fate at the end. Imagine my surprise that person whose history I was to find out about was linked to my own as in the neighborhood she settled in. I'd walked by that house during my high school years. This was a shocking discovery for me.

Was your family represented among the survivors or the victims of the sinking of the Titanic. This is a great place to start on your journey.
