SURVIVORS OF THE TITANIC | Survivors of the tragedy tell their stories of that fateful night
At 11.40pm on 14 April, 1912, the famously 'unsinkable' ocean liner, Titanic, struck an iceberg. Two hours and forty minutes later she sank deep into the freezing Atlantic waters. Less than a third of the people on board survived.
Over the years the BBC spoke to men and women who lived through that 'night to remember'. Their memories, and internal BBC documents about the controversies that followed, are now gathered together to tell the true story of the disaster.
