<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Filling an important gap in the existing literature for Titanic enthusiasts<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Much has been written about <i>Titanic</i>, however, until now little mention has been made about the intricate world of the ship's complement, which comprised more than the total of third-class passengers alone. <i>Titanic</i> researcher Günter Bäbler examines in detail the working structure of the crew, including the complex arrangement of the engineering department and information on tips, salaries, and hidden bonuses, while each of the 899 crew members on board is mentioned. This valuable study breathes life into the forgotten but significant story of the ship and its relationship to its crew, of whom over 75 per cent died when <i>Titanic </i>sank.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Günter Bäbler</b> was co-founder of the Swiss Titanic Society and its president since 1998, and has worked as an adviser for many international historical and cultural projects about <i>Titanic</i>, including for documentaries, exhibitions, films and theater. He has published numerous articles for the <i>Swiss Titanic Society </i>and written books on the Swiss passengers and crew of <i>Titanic</i>, <i>Carpathia </i>(<i>Titanic</i>'s rescue ship), a bibliography on all German <i>Titanic </i>books, and a <i>Titanic </i>book aimed at younger readers.
