About this listen

Published a remarkable 14 years before the Titanic tragedy, this novel presents an intriguing tale filled with eerie parallels to real events. The Titan, hailed as the largest and most technologically advanced steamship of its era, is deemed unsinkable. Its luxurious speed crossings across the Northern Lane Route cater to the affluent, while the less fortunate endure rougher conditions yet still enjoy faster travel. However, these voyages come with peril, chiefly from treacherous icebergs. Amidst this backdrop, one crew member, John Rowland, struggles with his own demons, drowning his sorrows in alcohol. When the Titan collides with an iceberg during a record-speed attempt, Rowland must confront his past and fight for survival. Can he rise above his challenges, escape the sinking ship, and reclaim his self-worth? Join Rowland on a gripping adventure of redemption and discovery, culminating in a shocking twist.Copyright 19th and 20th Century Fiction
