The sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912 is one of the most famous maritime disasters in history. The ship was on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City when it struck an iceberg and sank, killing over 1,500 people.

The disaster has been the subject of numerous books, movies, and documentaries. However, few of these works have focused on the individual stories of the passengers and crew who were on board the ship.

In "True Stories of the Titanic," author Sarah Ward tells the stories of some of the most fascinating people who were on board the ship. These include:

Margaret Brown, a wealthy socialite who became known as the "Unsinkable Molly Brown" for her heroism during the disaster.
John Jacob Astor IV, one of the richest men in the world who perished in the sinking.
Jack Phillips, the ship's wireless operator who sent out the distress signals.
Artie Moore, a young Irish immigrant who survived the sinking and went on to become a famous musician.

Ward's book is a moving and unforgettable account of the human tragedy that unfolded on the Titanic. Through the stories of the passengers and crew, she brings the disaster to life in a new way. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the Titanic or maritime history.
