Another crazy thing is that my husband has an old book about the Titanic from his grandma. It was like an anniversary edition of the tragedy - 1913, IIRC. He doesn’t know how she got it; it was printed before she was born, so maybe her mother/father bought it new, or maybe any of them bought it 2nd-hand. And *I’m* the Titanic nut. Just another strange coincidence between us. ;-)
Would it possibly be Sinking of the Titanic The World's Greatest Sea Disaster?
I have a copy; lots of passenger accounts, taken immediately after the disaster. (The copyright is 1912).
