The book, originally written just after the sinking of the Titanic, reflects the attitudes of the period in which it was published, especially with regard to the distinct roles of men and women. Obviously bereft of the insights derived from the discovery of the Titanic, it nevertheless raises two provocative issues: a fire in the coal bunker and unruly passengers being shot. However, I wish to clarify the matter of pictures which the mixing of reviews for two different editions has created.  The text of the free public domain version is well-formatted but lacks photographs. The $.99 edition from MacMay is equally well-formatted, but it DOES have photographs. The decision, therefore, is whether the inclusion of the photos is worth spending a dollar rather than getting the text for free. I think the photos, while not spectacular, greatly enhance the presentation and would therefore recommend the MacMay edition.
