I have learned so much about the Titanic while writing Titanic Deception. There have been times I’ve literally been in tears as I read about the fate of passengers and crew, especially when children were involved.
From descriptions of bodies fished from the sea
to testimonies from the two inquiries that were held after the sinking to hearing a reconstruction of what the final messages on the wireless sounded like, I have inundated myself in the hopes and dreams of those who boarded this ship in April of 1912.
I know this kind of research isn’t for everyone, but I really enjoy it. Luckily, there is a lot of information available online. While my characters are all fictional, I have woven true occurrences throughout the story. I feel it lends some authenticity to the experience.
In light of this, I’ll be sharing photos, videos and other cool things I’ve found during my research. I hope you enjoy them at least half as much as I have during this journey.
We’re aiming to publish on the 100th anniversary of the Titanic‘s sinking, so enjoy delving into the past a bit as I share.
Here is an audio file of one of the messages that was sent by the Titanic in her hour of need. It has been recreated. Can you imagine spending hours slouched over a console trying to decipher these sounds?
