My book selections for Titanic Week 2025, which runs from April 10 (anniversary of her departure from Southampton) through April 18 (anniversary of the survivors’ arrival in New York on Carpathia):

The Addergoole Titanic Story, by Pauline Barrett. I heard about this book through friends, including one who has a personal connection to the small parish in Ireland that was home to 14 passengers.

The Six, by Steven Schwankert. This just-released volume tells the stories of the Chinese passengers on Titanic, 6 of whom survived.

Report Into the Loss of the SS Titanic: A Centennial Reappraisal, by Samuel Halpern, et al. I expect my reading to extend well beyond Titanic Week given the meticulous research its 11 authors are renowned for. I’m particularly looking forward to the chapters on the British and American inquiries as that is an area I have not explored.

A Night to Remember, by Walter Lord. My annual April 14 re-reading of this classic.

Fellow enthusiasts, what are you reading this week?
