In this remarkable piece of historical detective work, author Christopher Ward reveals what happened after his grandfather, a violinist on the Titanic, perished.
In 1912, 1500 people lost their lives when the Titanic sunk. At 21 years of age, Jock Hume was the youngest member of the Titanic's orchestra. He was due to marry his fiancee, Mary, when he returned home. She was pregnant with his child.
Almost 100 years later, Christopher tells a poignant story of love, loss and betrayal as he describes the impact that Jock’s death had on both Jock and Mary's families. He paints a vivid portrait of a society constrained by a class system that was enforced not only in life, but also in death.
