Many
people on Canada’s east coast, the maritime regions, have experienced the
temperament of the North Atlantic Ocean: beautiful, moody, mysterious. The
cold Atlantic has a capacity, with its tremendous force and power, to take
human life seemingly at will; however, it has also spared lives and allowed
miraculous escapes.
Since
the phenomenon of the 1997 hit movie Titanic, more people than ever
have been captivated with Titanic trivia and still thirst, seemingly
at an ever-increasing rate, for facts about the great ship operated by the
renowned White Star Line. Cape Race: Stories from the Coast that Sank the
Titanic presents 48 stories of tragedy and heroic rescue from the sea
surrounding Cape Race, Newfoundland, including the story of the magnificent
liner whose sinking off that coast in 1912 was felt around the world.
