Not My Time to Die – Titanic and the Swedes on Board

£14.66

Lilly Setterdahl’s Not my time to die: Titanic and the Swedes on board, presents a brief, but thorough history of the Titanic.

The book describes the conditions in Sweden in 1912, the reasons for the emigration, and profiles each of the 125 Swedes on board.

The stories of the 34 survivors cover some 100 pages.

The author has researched the intriguing lives of the survivors to a greater extent than anyone else. She has translated eyewitness accounts, letters, newspaper reports, and interviews that give new insight into what happened on that tragic night one hundred years ago when the biggest steamer built to date foundered on its maiden voyage.

Families are separated or decide to die together. The personal stories are vivid and heartbreaking, but not without happy endings. This well-referenced and illustrated book about the third-largest ethnic group on the Titanic is the first of its kind published outside of Sweden.

Description

“After years of dedicated research, a definitive story of Titanic’s Swedish contingent is finally told. The author’s attention to detail and excellent story line make the tale of Swedish emigration to America in the early 1900’s very understandable. This book is a must read for anyone interested in Titanic’s people and their destinies” — Robert Bracken, Titanic historian and treasurer of Titanic International Society.

“Like the 50-year-old Titanic Historical Society’s mission to preserve Titanic and passenger history, Lilly Setterdahl’s Not my time to die emphasizing the Swedish aboard is welcome and very much needed” — Edward Kamuda, president/founder.
