a night to remember (1955 book)

To make Titanic’s story more tangible, I have purchased a few items that help me get closer to the ship and its passengers. I'm curious if others do the same and what items they cherish? To break the ice, I'll share my small collection with a brief explanation for each item. I'd love to hear and...

I still think that A Night to Remember is one of the most ambitious books on this subject. The author decided four decades after the sinking to write it and had to reach out to survivors without the aid of internet, previous detailed books after 1912 or any of the data so easily available...

I am trying to research into on board experiences of 2 survivors of the Titanic disaster. Both were young, male, Swedish Third Class passengers and reportedly had similar strapping builds. Both had similar sounding names - Carl Jansson and Karl Jonsson and to increase confusion, both anglicized...

According to the 1993 documentary film The Making of "A Night to Remember", which is available to view as a special feature on the Criterion Collection 2012 DVD and Blu-Ray of the 1958 film A Night to Remember, Walter Lord says in an interview that he came up with the idea to give the book that...

I picked up a copy of A Night to Remember off eBay and I believe it's a "true first," meaning a 1st printing of a 1st edition. Does anyone here know for sure how to conclude this? Other printings I've seen have a listing of all the printings along with the month and date of each starting with...

I was just surfing on Google and found an illustrated edition of ANTR available on a maritime books site. Has anyone here read it? Although I can imagine many readers thinking it could detract from the engrossing text (indeed without the pictures it has christened many Titanic historians), it...

Does anyone know where I can find some book reviews for A Night to Remember? I'm writing a paper on the book and I can't find any reviews on it.

Like to find the correct dust cover for a Henry Holt and Company Classics Library edition which was published in 1991- it doesn't actually say, but on the first page is a seal with- a owl, 125th anniversary, 1886-1991. Hardcover with print on front of stylized paisley fish and diamond shaped...

hi! has anybody heard of an audio cd of ANTR? I know that there are audio cassetts but I'm searching for an audio cd. thx dustin

I have noticed that many people first got hooked on Titanic by ANTR and I am no exception. I read it in grade school many years before "the ballad of Jack and Rose." I can race through books , but I was a bit slowed down by the compulsion to check the list everytime I encountered a person in...

After searching around 4 book shops and numerous charity shops and car boot sales, I finally decided to purchase this book online and got the book for 58p and it came today. I havent read it yet but have been looking at all the illustrations and photographs. Fantastic book from what I have seen...

This may be covered in another thread.: Bernard Fox played the part of Frederick Fleet in ANTR, but I haven't been able to find his name listed in the cast list at the start of the movie. Was he listed under another name or was it that his part just didn't rate a listing ?

"A Night to Remember" and "A Time to Stand". Both great storytelling. And they both have some strange way of making you want to dig deeper. The defense of the Alamo is one of the classic battles in the story of American freedom, the legend enhanced, and consumed by the voracious reader...

BBC7 is broadcasting a somewhat abridged version of ANTR in 10 parts. To hear it online, go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/ Click on Listen Again, then on the program for Monday. Note that ANTR begins about four minutes into the sound clip.

I can't put my hands on my copy of ANTR, but if I remember correctly, Walter Lord interviewed someone whose named sounded like "Walter Belford", a crewman, yet I can't find his name anywhere. Was he an imposter or did Lord get the name wrong? Thanks. Dennis

I finally got a copy of A Night To Remember as a birthday present from a friend. I have read the book, but never actually owned a copy - so YAY for having fabulous friends! She also gave me the sequel, which I did already own - so now I have a spare copy of that.

I have a copy of the Books on Tape recording of Walter Lord's classic 'A Night to Remember' and 'The Night Lives On' for sale. Read by actor Wolfram Kandinsky. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/5557099778/026-2800754-8473266

My favorite Titanic artist, hands down, is Ken Marschall. But there are 2 other Titanic paintings (by 2 different artists) I love as well... One is a great port aft side glipse of a sinking Titanic- Chris Mayger (i believe) is the artist. This painting is on the softbound edition of A Night To...

in walter lord's a night to remember, it says in one passage that two (or three) ladies who were i believe Third Class passengers wandered off just outside the a la carte restaurant windows. are there windows on the aft wall of the restaurant facing the second class promenade deck?
