Survivor: The Unforgettable True Story Of A Shipwreck And Redemption I M A Survivor : Non Fiction Self Help Motivational

On August 14, 1972, the RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 set sail from Southampton, England, on a transatlantic voyage to New York City. Aboard the ship were 1,796 passengers and 979 crew members. Among them were a diverse group of people from all walks of life: families on vacation, businessmen and women on their way to important meetings, and young people embarking on new adventures.

Just after midnight on August 19, as the Queen Elizabeth 2 was sailing off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts, a fire broke out in the ship's engine room. The fire quickly spread, engulfing the entire ship in flames. The passengers and crew were forced to abandon ship, and within hours, the Queen Elizabeth 2 sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

In the aftermath of the disaster, there were only 29 survivors. They had spent hours in the water, clinging to life rafts and debris. They had witnessed the deaths of their loved ones and friends. They had endured unimaginable hardships and suffering.

But they had also survived. And their story - the story of the survivors of the RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 - is a testament to the human spirit and the power of hope.
