Well, as you know, the books are generally much more moving than any documentary. The captain of the ship survived but blew his own brains out with his service revolver a few years later, on his porch because he couldn't forgive himself. That's how the book actually opens. There's then a lot of historical stuff about the voyage before it was sunk then there's a lot of it about mariners bobbing about in the sea getting eaten by sharks, the chaplain on the ship survived, he was swimming around from one stricken man to another before they were picked off by the sharks, it's a very sombre read😭.

There's another book I've read called "Happy Odyssey" i won't tell you who wrote it or what it's about but what I will do is give you what is to my mind, the greatest opening paragraph in Wikipedia's history, about the author...... Enjoy😂😂😂.

Lieutenant-General Sir Adrian Paul Ghislain Carton de Wiart,[1] VC, KBE, CB, CMG, DSO (/də ˈwaɪ.ərt/;[2] 5 May 1880 – 5 June 1963) was a British Army officer of Belgian and Irish descent.[3] He was awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration awarded for valour "in the face of the enemy" in various Commonwealth countries.[4] He served in the Boer War, First World War, and Second World War. He was shot in the face, head, stomach, groin, ankle, leg, hip, and ear. He was also blinded in his left eye, survived two plane crashes, tunnelled out of a prisoner-of-war camp, and cut off his own severely injured fingers when a doctor declined to amputate them. Describing his experiences in the First World War, he wrote, "Frankly, I had enjoyed the war."[5]
